Just to prove that Florida is beyond great, the overrunning showed
up this morning at 7:30 AM. I've never seen it here in Florida, only in Zapata,
but there it was in all its full blown glory. The overrunning occurs when thin
low cumulus clouds appear in the morning (often before dawn in Zapata) racing
along maybe 500' to 1,000' AGL. Soon... mehr

Last Tuesday, April 19, Mike Barber and I flew 125 miles from
Wallaby Ranch, up 301, to north of Stark, Florida. We landed next to active
military airspace to the delight of an elderly couple who owned the farm land.
The flight took 5 1/2 hours in light tail winds with long glides from cloud base

The flight.With another pretty darn good forecast we were ready for another great day of
flying in Florida. The wind was a bit more east than the day before at Quest in
the morning but there was still some south in it. I spotted the first cu at 8:30
AM and by 9 AM the sky was full. The forecast called for cu's up the center of
the state... mehr

In Orlando this week for spring break, we skipped the Disney mobs.
Instead, I took my kids to Wallaby Ranch, this state-of-the-art, enormous
hang-gliding facility (http://wallaby.com

miniseries, "Making... mehr

With the east wind component Jochen flew northwest into the
panhandle. He landed just north of Interstate 10, west of Interstate 75, east of
Tallahassee. Looks like he'll be there a while as retrieval is just beginning.

His goal was 150+ miles. He circled down from 3,000' to help the retrieve.
Longest flight by a Belgian pilot. mehr

At 9 AM the cu's appear, but this time it's different, they're
thick. By 9:30 they not only have some vertical development, unlike the wispies
from the day before, but there are filling up the sky to the north.The average boundary layer winds were supposed to be fourteen knots out of the
east down here at 2 PM, but curling around to the... mehr

Like the last three days the cu's started around 9:30 AM on Saturday, something that we just
started seeing here this year. The wind was southeast instead of the east
southeast as forecasted. It looked good, but on the previous days it blued out
after early cu's.
I was... mehr
