STOP! March 5 2022 NO GO For Launch

NO GO – March NCR Launch

Mother Nature prevails. The weather forecast for the Briggsdale area has precipitation starting before midnight tonight and going until noon Saturday, turning to snow.  Sunday doesn’t look any better.  The predicted temps during launch time will be below freezing, albeit only a smidge with winds 17 to 20 mph blowing towards the road and with 100% cloud cover. Call me soft but we’re going to scrub.  SCORE in Pueblo plans to fly with warmer temps predicted but stronger winds. 

We are Good to Go with our scheduled and approved launch on Saturday April 5th and Sunday April 6th, from the North Site, subject to change – Mostly cloudy and High Winds predicted.  Range and waiver should be active by 9AM on Saturday.   The Pawnee National Grassland remains fragile and dry, so extra precautions are in order.  Please stay on the authorized roads and please don’t park more than 100’ off the road at the flight line.

 

 

 

Vehicles must remain on approved/maintained roadways.  Driving on the Pawnee Grasslands is not allowed during any NCR sanctioned activity.
