  If you're considering coming to Orange this weekend:
The weather has so far been much better than forecast: windy but no ceiling 
or precip problems. The way AOPA & The Weather Channel are showing things 
now, we may have a little rain early Fri & Sat mornings, but should get 
nearly full days of flying in on both days.  The forecast seems to keep 
getting better and better.  We often have to wait a bit for the morning fog 
to lift anyway, so the actual impact is likely to be minimal. Most of the 
nasty stuff should (knock on wood) pass through at night. Sunday is looking 
good both for contest flying and for getting home, unless you're coming 
from Canada or Florida.
By saying all this I've probably ticked off the weather gods and now we'll 
have rain. But frankly, it's looking a whole lot better than it did earlier 
this week.
So far we've got a great turnout, and it's looking like it could be quite 
the contest. If you still need more enticing, we've got a great raffle set 
up with 20 prizes, including a grand prize of a ride in an SU-29 :-)
