Flying Saturday and Sunday

There will be flying this Saturday and Sunday, weather depending.  Indeed, unless posted - here - otherwise, we fly on Saturdays and Sundays. 

Friday, June 15, 2018

another brief forecast - go tomorrow

I am saying that Saturday has a better BS ratio than Sunday and that KK looks better than WW
It’s going to be a bit breezy, but we might get in some flying (could be good for XC)

KK Saturday
DrJack Jun 16 - NAM
Lift 450+ fpm to CUbase 5k’
B/S Ratio 7
BL Wind SW @ 13

Temp@2m 92.9 <- effin hot

CU @ Enjoy

Sunday looks like drift exceeds lift

Tuesday, June 12, 2018

No, it's Thursday

Thursday appears to be a flying day up north.
500+ fpm lift to about 4500'
Wind aloft s@8 mph for a BS ratio of 8
A decent flying day in between too much wet

Monday, June 11, 2018

Wednesday maybe - if not too windy

Wednesday maybe - if not too windy
Forecasts differ on winds (and KK vs WW)
But this could be the day this week
Better picture tomorrow

Last weekend at Enjoy

This past weekend at Enjoy was a breezy one for sure.  Saturday morning was overcast with an easterly wind, but it cleared up in the afternoon to a beautiful day. 

In addition to tandems running all morning, we had a pilot out from Michigan and a pilot out for Lookout.  We are always happy to see our brethren from afar out at Enjoy.  Please come back and visit us soon!

Sunday ended up being blown out, but all the better for some field maintenance.  It takes a lot of maintenance days throughout the year to keep Enjoy operational, so thanks to all who came out to help and to Enjoy! 

See you next weekend.

Distinctly Fall, But We Are Not Done Yet

While Labor Day is gone for another year and fall is on the horizon, Hang Glide Chicago is going strong.  Some of the best flying happens in...
