Blustery FORECAST for MAy 21st 2016

5/20/2016

SDHGPA Spring Fly-in will be Rescheduled to June 11th 2016 based on the Blustery Day forecasts for this weekend.

Hold on there Piglet - Blustery Conditions Likely for this Weekend
Fly-in Update:
Based on the WX forecast Friday AM, there was a general consensus that it would not be a good day to have a fly-in on Sat May 21st.
Although some HG and Advanced PG pilots will be heading out to Palomar to check out the conditions and maybe hang out. 
Most felt that it would be better to push that date out to the next available date of June 11th so that there would be a greater possibility of good air and more pleasant conditions in the LZ for a wider audience of pilots.
Follow the Fly-in Updates and Information on the SDHGPA Spring Fly-in Page:
