I'm up for flying St Helena Sunday. We need to exercise our rights and priviledges regularly if we expect to retain them.

At 8:20AM, it's blowing 18 at Funston, and the windcast shows generally 20mph winds from the nnw.
Will St. Helena be blown out? |

Sunday was big FUN at St Helena. Eight pilots got to launch from the tower launch. The mountain was right in the convergence line and everyone got right up.
Scot got highest to over 7K most pilots got over 6K. Take offs were good conditions started out light and got better as the day went on. There were a couple
whacks in the LZ. No bends or bruises. Bob N. pulled an Enzo and put his glider through the coin slot. That was exciting! Me; 6450', 1:30, whack. I got
some good keel-cam video.
Thanks to EC and Matt for driving. Can't wait to do it again next weekend! Hangfly the Airhead
