Going to Hesperia on Feb 16th

Hi Guys, The Fly-In will be on Sun, Feb 16th to Hesperia for brunch at Mile High Café. Sound familiar? Hope to see you all at the airport. My cell will be on until around 0945 lift off for any last minute changes. Best of clear skies and tail winds. Tony Tex

Hi Guys,

  Initially I received an overwhelming vote for the Fly-In to Hesperia on Sunday, Jan 19th.

  However, there's been a change. Four of the pilots voting for Hesperia

sent me emails and would rather stay home and watch the two divisional

championship football games this Sunday.

  Is anyone else coming to the Fly-In? Let me know ASAP.

If no one else is coming, we can cancel or re-schedule Hesperia to the following Sunday or February.

Flying to Hesperia (L26) on Jan 19th.

Hi Guys,
 For the Jan 19th Fly-In, I received 7 suggestions. 4 of them for Hesperia (L26). So the Mile High Café at L26 is where we'll go.

 Three is a lucky number because this'll be the third time we've scheduled for L26.

 My cell will be on until around 0945 lift off for any last minute changes.

 Best of clear skies and tail winds.

12/15/2013 flight cancelled

Hi Guys,

  CANCEL our Fly-In to HESPERIA (L26) this Sunday. That airport must be a
jinx.

  I've been watching a few weather websites and they all predict HIGH WIND
WARNINGS. Not good for L26 with one runway and it's a rather short without
much room to maneuver in case you get an unexpected high gust.

  I was considering Riverside as an alternate, but Ontario and March AFB,
both are close to Riverside, are also forecasting high winds. No use in
pushing our luck. There's always another day to do a fun Fly-In.

  Also 3-4 people who called me BEFORE this email said were not coming
because of HIGH WIND WARNINGS.

  So another scrub for L26.

  Maybe we'll try L26 or maybe Chiriaco Summit on the third Sunday of next
month, Jan 19.

  Which would you guys prefer, Hesperia (jinxed) or Chiriaco Summit L77)?

  I'll info everyone when I get feed-back from you guys. Thus far two pilots
want to give Hesperia another go... maybe just to break the jinx.

  It's our San Diego winter time so this variable weather shouldn't be a big
surprise. Can't complain though... look at the East Coast.

  Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone.

Hesperia on 12/15/2013

Hi Guys,

  Boy, did I get sucked in by yesterday's forecast for the Sun, Nov 17th
Fly-In to Hesperia. I know a few of also cancelled due to the forecast for
low clouds and gusty winds along the route, so join the club. It turned out
to be a decent day. However, in view of that, there were broken 4-5000'
broken clouds over Ontario and some 25-30 knot wind gusts at Hesperia. So
maybe it was best we didn't push our luck.

  OK, on Sun, Dec 15th we'll try another flight to Hesperia (L26) for brunch
at the Mile High Café. It's our "winter" months so let's hope the WX will
cooperate.

  My cell will be on until around 0945 lift off for any last
minute changes.

  Best of clear skies and tail winds.

NO GO FOR L26

Hi Guys,

  NO GO for our Hesperia (L26) Fly-In tomorrow. Our "winter" is still great
compared to other places.

  Some mid-level ceilings with some rain on the route to L26, not to mention
the gusty winds which doesn't make for a fun Fly-In flight.

  We'll give L26 another shot on Dec 15th.
