The Santa Cruz Flats Race 2009 is on!

Lasy year's most popular competition has changed dates to benefit from lingering monsoonal moisture that will hopefully bring cumulus this year. The dates are September 20-26 with a practice day on the 19th.

As usual, we will be staying at the Francisco Grande Hotel http://www.franciscogrande.com/ 800-237-4238 Please reserve your rooms ASAP, we have reserved a limited block of rooms that may not accomodate everyone.

Registration opens Monday morning, 9 AM eastern time here: http://goflyxc.com/2009/santa_cruz_flats

Arizona Weather

Submitted by Mark Dowsettâ on Thu, 04/10/2008 - 08:00

With the anticipation of the upcoming competition I thought I should check out the weather.

Late in last year's flying season, I came across XC Skies a soaring forecasting tool for us free-fliers. It may rival Dr Jack that we've all come to love and depend on.

XC Skies advantage is that it is VERY easy to use and has pretty maps! I always found Dr Jack too plain jane and hard to navigate and read.
