Day 4 - rebrief at 12

Day 4 of the Ionia Regionals and we still haven't got in the air yet! Today will be marginal, with strong winds, weak lift, high cirrus and stable air.

Yesterday we probably would have had a gliding window from about 4pm-8pm. Sunset here is just after 9pm and the clouds looked at least 7000ft until 8pm. The wind was still a factor, with trees bent over and white caps on the lake.

Here's a shot of the military cemetery next to the airport, with McDonalds in the background. Sort of appealed to me - the sacrifices made to protect the American Way.
