Captain Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 A nice promotional article for the group over there, however this is really nothing ground breaking as that wave has been soared for years when the westerlies kick in and conditions are right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birdseye Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 I'm waiting for a report on how the conditions were and how many record flights were made. Its always good to hear more about flying activities. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Birdsy, I've been up in the Snowy Mountains for a few days and have not seen any lenticulars, so it looks to me like it may be a little too early. The strong westerlies usually come through about August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
