    Have fun, I did a long trip to Weyers Cave Virginia, I fought thunderstorm cumin & going. It was a really fun trip. Fly carefully.

    I took a Rotax Maintenance & Repair class at Blue Ridge Community College. I would recommend the class to anyone that owns a Rotax powered aircraft.

    Thanks Steve, after checking the morning weather, the storm west of the ridge at this moment is on its way out, tomorrows forecast has winds around 30 mph west of the Ridge, so if we leave around 10:00/11:00 today, the storm and MT OBSCUR should be clear,
    Options : 1 leave today late morning and fly the Ridge on our own power...
    2 leave tomorrow and get blown over the Ridge by mother nature

    Tough choice, ...ok I flipped Madison,.. She landed on heads .. Ha ha so we leave today


    PS from Chris " thank you Steve "
