San Antonio's forecasting a 90% chance of rain down here with 30-55mph winds :shock:. I suspect that we'll likely be too socked in for any of my buddies making it up there. It'd probably just be too risky that we'd be coming back to a muddy landing strip if we could get through the weather. And with those winds, it might be a bit risky in the ole taildraggers. :(

Is SJ going south on Friday or are they going to stay around Arlington a bit? The WX looks dicey all week...of course Friday afternoon may be the best time to fly...

Sentimental Journey has cacelled, and will probably ride the storm out up North. Maybe coming to T-82 on Monday depending on what Ike does.

Hope SJ is staying dry up there. We didn't even get a sprinkle down here. Crazy storm.

Looks like SJ will be coming to Fredricksburg Monday at 1200. Just had a meeting and she is now deffenitly coming weather permiting. Weather has been great except for some winds that may hurt as T-82 doesn't have a crosswind runway.

A fairly successfull 2 days of flying. SJ is leaving today for Midland. The highlight of the week for me was yesterday talking with Mary Donahue (Archies widow) who I haven't seen in years. What a wonderfull lady.
