Sadly I won't be making it. I booked the wrong weekend off thinking it was first weekend in September.

Josh, isn’t that what sick time is for? 😝

Well, the period of time that is concerning is Saturday upon return. From what we can decipher currently, it looks like it could be a quartering headwind for runway 25. Idaho Falls and McCarley could be our respite for a few hours. Sunset is late and winds look like they subside well before. I believe the return on Saturday is not that late in the afternoon, before the winds peak. I fly regularly with winds close to this but they are a bit more down the runway than what it appears it could be at the ranch.

And I guess there is a hangar there we can use to stay out of the wind when hanging out at Rainbow. I airplane-camped with only a tent for shelter over last weekend in wind and dust and it got tiresome pretty quickly. I'll continue to look at the weather, but I'm leaning toward coming out. It's as much about meeting up with the community as it is about the flying for me.

Saturday is looking better, Sunday is getting more spicy. Right now, I’m leaning on waiting till the next one...

I am asking about the Saturday morning fly-out, not the main event at Rainbow Ranch.
