[MT-ALES] ALES at Columbus report

[Ford Rollo]

So happy to hear that Wayne is out and about, enjoying his friends. Looks like a beautiful day for flying.  I took my Yellow Jacket 3.5 out today to fly and found that my flying site, a hay-field, was, it appears to me, about to be harvested.  So rather than get in the farmer’s way, I came home.  Hopefully, I’ll get out to fly it at least once before we depart for Montana on Saturday, May 16.
 104 degrees here today.  I expect the thermals were pretty good.

Rounds 2 through 4 had huge sink cycles, but there were also some huge powerful thermals, and several pilots specked way out.  For rounds 5 and 6 the wind died, making it possible to get an accurate read on the numerous light thermals coming through.  It was necessary to work several thermals to make time during these rounds, but the thermals were there. A good day of flying!
