CURRENT SOARING FORECAST FOR SCSA (CRYSTALAIRE - 46CN) FEBRUARY 25-28, 2011 LAST WEEKEND: Last Friday our forecast wave showed up in no small way. A line of wave directly above the field stretched east and west for about 80 miles. Our tow pilot reported a climb rate of 2000 FPM with a sailplane in tow!! Those pilots towing aloft had a helluva lot of fun.

THIS WEEKEND: ANOTHER WILD WEEKEND OF WEATHER INTERSPERSED WITH EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR WAVE IS FORECAST
