I see OLC had a new display ( if you log in first, you too can see it). Kinda nice, but different. Give the reader a better perspective of where we...

Safety Meeting held by Ben looks like it was well attended. Since I'm flying tomorrow (with my friend Tom J) and the conditions are fcst to be...

Woohoo! That's the kind of morning we like to see: 8:46a cropped I'll not be flying this weekend, so looking forward to reading about it!

Alex, good call! Just make sure your USB stick doesn’t contain your config file. I’ll be flying from Byron, possibly north towards Williams. ...

This is a great call. I will also have my usb stick with the latest flarm firmware on it so that everyone will have the opportunity to have an...

Hey Everyone we are super excited about flying tomorrow! This look like it may be the first super busy day at Williams and we would very much like...

Saturday and sunday both look really nice to me. Valley/foothill thermals with 7000' or so cloudbase. Sunday looks a touch dryer, saturday a touch...

Sunday looking good too on norcal rasp. Maybe a tad better even!

I moved some stuff around and will be here and flying. Ben

Planning to attend! Forecast improved this morning

Kempton thanks for the report and thanks for signing up on the SSA tracker. Both your Inreach and flarm were showing on the SSA tracker as FNX which...

Once again, the WSC RASP was accurate and correct. In the 36 hours before my planned Saturday flight, the Snow wave faded, but I was committed. ...

I meant it. See 3 sisters RASP, 5-6k top of thermals PM. But wave likes a thermal layer below the stable layer, at least per the books. Didnt notice...

Deep convective layer? I think you mean shallow, no? And, would you say the Norcal RASP or the Williams RASP was accurate for NNW wave?

We were flying in 50-60 mph NNW wave (330) two weeks ago. My lesson is that it works if you can climb 2 knots. If you stop to climb at 1 knot and you...

Hello Everyone Zoom link has been sent out!! If you did not receive it or would like to sign up please let us know at either...

Yes, upwind is always harder, but the SF trips show that our modern equipment makes it very doable. So long as headwinds are <60kts, and you can...

Getting upwind to the trinities seems like a stretch! But we're learning there is a lot of wave in all sorts of wind directions. Maybe buttes and...

Buttes wave should work late afternoon as the wind swings to 000-010. OTOH, I don't know of anyone trying it at 350 or so....

Any thoughts on butte wave Saturday for the less experienced or less adventurous pilot?

Saturday's wind is 340 early, swinging to 010, so not usually the wind direction that I fly for wave, but the forecast wave strength on the...

My comment on Monday is in that thread.

Hi Ben! While I'd love to have faith in that chart, I brought up on my Windy to confirm, and it looks like you're using the ECMWF model. You should...
