PWC at King Mountain
The PWC has moved to King Mountain for a 4 PM Friday launch and
4:45 start. The winds there at 16,000' at 3 PM are still strong enough but
lighter down at 10,000', fifteen knots. The pilots will have to head a bit
upwind to get the turnpoints. This should prove interesting.
Task delay at 4 PM. Task cancelled at 5:40 PM. Winds were southwest 17 mph, gusting to 23 mph at Arco at 5:47 PM. XCSkies forecast for Saturday (the last day) at 10,000' at 3 PM at King
Mountain: 10 knots compared to 14 or 15 knots today. Wind speeds at 16,000' at 3
PM on Saturday, 27 knots, compared to 24 knots today.
