All,
The Oasis D1 season finale pattern contest at Jackson, NJ is
anticipated to be overwhelmed by hurricane, or remnants of, Hanna on
Saturday, September 6. Sunday's weather forecast is projecting to be
better, but we are uncertain to what extent Hanna will clear out..
Therefore, here is the plan. We will not attempt to fly any rounds
on Saturday due to weather forecasting a combination of heavy rain,
strong winds, potential wind gusts above 39 mph, and scattered
thunderstorms. We will re-assess the weather situation Sunday morning,
convene for a pilots meeting at 8:30 AM, and then decide how to
proceed. I suspect if the wind is tolerable on Sunday, we should be
able to get three rounds in.
The zip-code for Lakehurst, NJ area is 08733 for those who want to
follow along on weather.com <http://weather.com> or other online weather
services.
For those that are members of ECIM, http://www.ecim.net/, you have
an option to do some indoor flying at the nearby Hanger 1 on the Navy
facility on Saturday. Non-ECIM members will most likely not be allowed
onto the Navy facility to go fly within Hanger 1.
If you have any questions, please contact me on my cell # at (732)
232-2165, or by email at spiurc at comcast.net.
Hope to see you on Sunday. Good luck to all contestants.
