The 2013 WRE is nearly upon us. We have a couple of openings for pilots to fly
for their personal best distances, or swing for the fence and the World Record
500 mile mark. We set up this Friday, start flying Saturday, and go through
month end. Pilots can come for the first week, the second, all of it or anything
in between. Contact me for details: <wosoba>.

The large-scale weather patterns which deliver consistently good results are
moving into place nicely. Here's about as far out as we can look at the isobaric
pressure patterns with any reliability. The remarkable tailwinds we have come to
love in Zapata start setting up on Saturday, building Sunday, Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday. They all look very good right now. Strong, long, and from the right
direction.

When the winds blow with these patterns, that's when the clouds and streets tend
line up just right for incredibly long flights. It could change some but these
stable, day after day patterns are what make the commitment worthwhile and the
flying the best in the world. Here are next Monday’s forecast winds in the
morning and evening at approximately 5,000’- roughly the middle of the lift
band.

And here’s a view down the Zapata County Airport runway.

We're looking forward to some fabulous flying this year.
