But it's something I'd like to get sooner or later.<BR/><BR/>Pu'u Kukui is almost 6000', so the West Maui mountains will block the light trades.<BR/><BR/>I think some of you O'ahu pilots should plan to come over here on short notice next winter. Haleakala is good on l+v days, and after the 35 minute sledder to the beach, we can go thermal the west side!AaronCanFlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03658112696028348305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20110414.post-15317119574899988682008-04-27T09:07:00.000-10:002008-04-27T09:07:00.000-10:00Aaron, what a great story! We always fly our west ...Aaron, what a great story! We always fly our west side in L&V, rarely in light trades. I don't think our range there is quite tall enough to create the same kind of thermal bubble that sets up for you guys. Anyway, nice job on the XC! I would love to see a tracklog if you have one. No one flew the L&V here on Thursday, although it looked quite epic, according to Doug who was stuck at work, cloud streets to the moon. I flew our west side on Friday and found it to be incredibly strong and punchy (around 2 pm) - I chickened out after half an hour of that rough stuff. I look forward to checking out the Maui west side with you guys one day! Thanks again for sharing your adventures with us.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06249789335111913420noreply@blogger.com
