The weather forecasts have proven to be fictions. High thin clouds
covered the Americus airfield all day while there were blue skies with cu's ten
or fifteen kilometers away. Unreachable from the launch, but so tantalizing.
Well at least the forecast for light winds was spot on.To emphasize the craziness of the weather forecast we gave our... mehr

On Thursday, the RAP and NAM forecasts differed greatly from each
other and the sky was full of thick mid level clouds in the morning which made
the prospects of calling a task a bit daunting. There certainly wasn't any lift
and there were no prospects for cumulus clouds. The satellite photos showed a
large area of clouds over most of the... mehr

It seems like she has been at Quest less than two weeks. After
twenty tandem aerotows and three solos on the Elektro Tow, Mitch Shipley had her
take two high tows here at Americus just before 8 PM. She was congratulated at
the pilot meeting.

The tugs flew in about 4 PM, but the ropes and the cart didn't get
there until about 6 PM. I was first off at 6:20 PM for the first practice day of
the Americus Cup. What a beautiful tow, but no lift, of course. A bunch of us

around 3 PM.We were towing on the runway... mehr

I kept writing to him telling him he should charge $5,000 a

Wills should make an announcement soon. I'm hoping that Jeff and
Wills can find someone else to take over the production. Jeff was in the process
of moving the production to a new location with new people, when that fell
through.I always felt that Jeff was building a premium... mehr

It has long been a mystery exactly what causes the formation of
cirrus clouds, the wispy billows of ice that can be seen high in the sky. But
new research, detailed in the May 9 issue of the journal Science, finds that the
clouds condense and freeze, or nucleate, on very specific... mehr
