Maybe I missed it in earlier threads but did you know? On the RV weather website that if you put the cursor over the winds on the METARS page it immediately calculates the cross winds for the respective runways. For those that do not have the websit, here is the address: www.rvproject.com
For the tail draggers in the crowd this is a quick no brainer before aviating especially
for the  50's with their 3m/s max X wind limit.

We are still looking for FAST Qualified pilots to join us for these two
airshows:

Lacrosse Airshow, Lacrosse, WI June 16-18
Springfield Air Rendezvous, Springfield, IL June 22-25

For these two shows, we have made it possible for for non-Commercially ra
ted

n

formation skills and contribute to the betterment of mankind.

We could really use your help!  Please contact me directly if you are
interested!

David,

Thanks for dropping in, I apologize for not having the time to talk to you 
more. We did a total of 8 sorties Saturday even if the Wx didn't cooperate 
as much as we had hope. Plus, all the guys (except Charlie and I who were 
busy showing the Air Cadets glider instructors what flying is all about) got 
to go on a glider fam flight. Sunday the ceiling lifted and we got 4 more 
sorties in before the guys had to blast their way south.

Our hosts, Jazz and Remi, are already looking at the calandar for the next 
gig; sometime in June 2007. Look for the official dates to follow shortly.

Thanks to all who were here and to those who tried but were Wx in.

cheers,

Dan
