Unfortunately there are no volunteers to tow or instruct tomorrow, so there will be no NESA operations.
Notam Update:
Stopped in and spoke with contest managers. An additional Notam added today for Right traffic to RW11. Makes good sense now.
So – Come out and fly but stay out of the box. Right traffic for RW23 and RW11 this weekend 🙂 Thanks.

Basically – Stay out of the box and right patterns for RW23 this weekend. The box is shifted a bit further away from the dam this year so RW29/11 remains open.
One further thought… Not sure why they didn’t make 11 right pattern too, but since it’s not Notam’d that way, be careful if using that runway – suggest midfield cross-wind entry as a normal 45 degree entry to RW11 would put you squarely in the box.
4-Day Flying Weekend
Happy 4th of July! See you at the airport.
Weekend review
Two great (if rather hot) soaring days this weekend. Lot’s of club member and intro flights. Nice also to see not just lots of people but lot’s of ships flying at the same time – Q2, VOL, B9, IC, YZ, i1, 003, both club 2-33’s and the 1-26 all took to the skies most for multi-hour flights.
Tow pilots and instructors available this weekend. C’mon out and FLY!
Sign up on the flynesa.com scheduling calendar. Wx looks good!
Congratulations Ben Berg, NESA’s Newest Certificated Glider Pilot
Congratulations to Ben Berg, and his mom and dad who supported him, as he passed his Private Pilot-Glider Practical Test today!
Despite winds that were a bit gusty, he performed to the test standards over three flights and was awarded his Pilot Certificate. Way to go, Ben! Now you can take that growing list of family and friends for a glider flight!
Ops cancelled today: Wind
TAF is calling for gusting 25+ all day.
Cancelled only student for the day. Not worth having Bob fly over to tow today.
Sorry folks.
Good Soaring Forecast Today: Come out and fly
11AM – Click to enlarge 
2PM – Click to enlarge
Looks like a nice day, should be good soaring, light winds, bit blue to begin but with some cu’s later in the day. Come out and soar. Potentially a good day for a Silver or a Proving Grounds flight (there have been no submissions yet this year).
Memorial Weekend Update
As of now Friday Wx marginal and Saturday Wx does not look good. So weekend plan slightly revised:
Fri – Will not have fully scheduled day. Alasdair has signed up to tow on the mid-week schedule. Will show up if we get a few pilots signing up under “Wanting Tows”. So, if you want to fly tomorrow, sign up. Sorry – no instruction;
Sat – Looking at the Wx we are calling Saturday a no-fly day. Operations cancelled.
Sun – Wx looks good. Full schedule of operations. Meeting / Cookout planned for Saturday will be moved to Sunday after flying
Memorial Day – Wx looks good – Full schedule of operations.
Hope to see a good turn-out Sunday and Monday. Come out and fly. As always, if you need instruction please sign up to help us plan.
See you at the airport.
