Looks like another lovely weekend with easy soaring to 6K each
day. Very slight chance of early morning clouds each morning, but if they form
overnight, they should burn off shortly after sunrise.News is... the date of the Andy Jackson Memorial fly-in has been set for
September 10th, so mark your calendars.Have a great weekend! mehr
