>> All,

>> I've decided to cancel the pattern contest scheduled for this weekend, 27-28 June, Eglin AFB, FL because of forecast rain and high winds.  The rain is expected to clear up mid-morning on Saturday.  However, after the rain stops, winds are forecast to rise, with gusts (according to Accuweather) exceeding 25 mph.  The forecast wind direction is almost a pure crosswind, making landings very tricky.
