It seems we are alternating, windy and flying days, today is windy.
We are camped out at Chelan airport, it's a reasonable tarmac strip with mostly single engine aircraft but a couple twins flying in and out each day. The airport is up on a plateau above the river and there is a steep ridge at the south end of the runway which is soarable and is actually a free-flying site.
On Wednesday night conditions were perfect and a few pilots had a go at it. You might think soaring in the climb-out path of an active runway a little too adventurous but it appears to be no problem. The Cessna I watched climb out had at least 50 metres clearance above them.
