Owl Canyon Gliderport, June 24, 1998.  65 sorties were flown today.  A short time out was taken to rebrief procedures and make sure all were on track following three events; one involving a missed checklist item, and two others involving getting out of position on tows.

Two Cheyenne, Wyoming television stations carried video and interviews on the glider academy.  Two Cheyenne radio stations also presented items.

Owl Canyon Gliderport, June 25, 1998.  Another strong day with 85 sorties flown.

Owl Canyon Gliderport, June 26, 1998.  Wind interrupted flight operations today, resulting in only 32 sorties.  Conservative wind limits are imposed during the CAP Glider Academies.  Maximum cross wind component allowed is 10 knots.  Maximum overall wind allowed is 20 knots.  Although experienced soaring pilots can safely deal with higher winds, adhering to strict limits during the encampments has proven to be a successful safety strategy and takes elements of improper assessment of conditions out of the picture.
