Feb. 18 & 19 Update as of Thursday AM.

Hello all my fellow ROCC'ers, here's an update for the weekend.

It's looking like about half an inch of rain on Friday so we're going to push the starting time for Saturday back to about 11 am. I'll set the waiver to go till 6 pm so if folks want to fly that late we can, since sunset is at 6:06.
Sunday is supposed to be fairly windy as the day progresses, so if you want to fly on Sunday the earlier the better.

Ken is with us this weekend so stock up on those supplies.

As always, keep an eye to the website or this FB page for last minute changes. If we get significantly more rain than predicted on Friday then Kip may want us to scrub Saturday. Always drive on the edges of the runway and don't drive more than you need to. Remember if Kip catches a wheel rut at 60 or so MPH he's probably toast.

See you at the farm!
