Good Flying Weather is Here

The first day of Spring is going to bring some good flying weather here on the Outer Banks. Southeast winds, mid 60's...It's going to be a great weekend for training. We've got a bunch of people signed up for lessons. It should be a good time.

It's been a long Winter and its nice to finally see Spring get here. One nice thing about this Winter is that all the storms that have blown through have shaped the dunes pretty nicely. The training hills look great. We're excited to get everybody out there. It's going to be a good flying season.
