Do you guys want to all meet at kdvt and we will all follow each other. Matt will probably be hung over so I will need to talk to someone. Although I could sing to my back seat guests. That's something I will have to think about. Lol

[cpasley]

Yes I wanna go! Please Please! LOL

[Stephen Marshall]

Hey guys, I'm not sure Chris wants to go? He doesn't seem very enthused about the event.

[Joe Copalman]

Agreed.  I'm just not sensing the requisite level of passion.   

[cpasley]

Yeah I kinda jumped the gun on that one ,apparenty I am already going but im still grin'in ear to ear

Good news, there isn't any report of smoke, but this TAF is for an airport 18nm north of 40G.

[Stephen Marshall]

I've been looking for Smoke reports all day and can't find any.

Susie and i are staying in Sedona and I'll be driving up from there.  I've been looking forward to tomorrow ever since last year when the Corsair made its final pass of the day.  Hopefully my photography will be better this year.  See you all in the morning.

You'll need to refresh once it loads to make it current.  Currently, the only bugaboo may be gusty winds.

40G isn't an officially reporting weather station.  They have neither an ASOS nor an AWOS on the field.
