Having looked at the long-term forecast, Tim (PM) and Tony (7H) did the logical thing and took the day off to go flying. They joined up in loose formation and headed north. The formation proved to be too loose, however, and soon they were on their own. Tony turned around just short of Dean and found the conditions in the river valley not to his liking. After two heroic saves, including one over "Kevin's Field," he dribbled home. Only after hearing his story did I realize that neither of his trailers is at Post Mills. Brave or foolish, you decide. Tim stayed up longer, didn't go quite as far, and made a perfect spot landing. Both flights are on the OLC.
Later in the day, Mike showed up to fly 3J, but discovered during the preflight inspection that the seat back was missing. We tried cannibalizing the other 1-23, but it turned out that the parts are not interchangeable. The missing seat back remains a mystery.

Why not yesterday (Tuesday) instead? I considered it, but decided the cloud bases are going to be too low. Not sure what really happened, the TAFs during the day showed a variety of cloud heights over time and space, between 3000 and 7000+. Today looked much less soarable around here (in the Northwestern Frontier).
