RE: wind this summer
Same here in central Indiana....Most unsettled weather I've seen......WIND ! We fly at Converse , Indiana, and those familiar recall the concrete slab and hundreds of flat acres in all directions.....Winds of 15 is a rare good day, but directions and force will change during a 12 min flight....Violent wind and rain storms develop in short time spans....Decent flying days this year can be counted on one hand...
Interesting to learn this is not only an Indiana phenomenon...
