  3. Do you need any ground support? I'm not (currently) busy that day. I'm trying to get my first solo cross-country done either tomorrow or Saturday, but it might get pushed to Sunday. Fingers crossed. I might show up anyway just to say hi. :)

  9. I will be at the airport... rain or shine... as will some of our pilots. We're going to hold out and see. I'll be posting a blog first thing in the morning with a better idea. But, we have coffee, hot chocolate, cookies, wings, and a chance to win some great prizes... whether we fly or not.

  10. I live about 6 minutes away so I have no excuse!
    I'll grab my plane at 10am if it looks ok, otherwise I'll meet at BEFA at 10am and join up with the group shaking our fist at the sky until the clouds break....then I'll go get my plane!

  12. Just looked at the TAF for BFI. Mentioned wind shear from surface to 2,000 feet at 35 knots.
    We'll just have to fly above 2,000 feet! :-)

  13. Rained out of Renton today and disappointed, but
    enjoyed listening to the pilots and loved their enthusiasm. Hope to make it up next time. Thanks for the chance to participate!
