catching up

10/27/12
 Well, the day started with code 2 NE winds, but by the 4th hour had cranked up to a code 4 and finished the day blowing heartily out of the NW.
Partly cloudy skies and heavy distortion made for at times challenging viewing conditions. The students that did show up for class today got to experience the biggest flight of the season.
