There is a flying tip and an acronym index at the bottom of the report for those not understanding some of the weather jargon. ;)

15 February 2026

Good morning all you amazing Wild2fly people! :)) And what a happy Valentines day it was yesterday. Many long flights around the GR and many happy pilots. Rozland deliver a flight all the way to Storms river mouth Nice Aaron 45km! :) Armin got to 1800m! (Highest I know of!) Keith in his hangie flew to Rheendal and then Knysna. Barry flew to Brenton. Many pilots went over the back including visitors (like Hotzie!) ;) Nice! I spent some time with Roy over Sedge at 900m (I was mainly admiring him!) ;) lol. Pete Viljoen cracked the code and went faster than Rouberre around the Sedge PG Go-Cart-Track on his Zeno2! (Amazing speed run that!) Then Laurent flies that super-duper Enzo 3 from Sedge to Map and back and back to Wilderness again! I was on PR when he jumped to the Hotel ridge and watched with envy! ;) lol 63km! Thanks for the pics Laurent! ;) (https://www.xcontest.org/world/en/flights/detail:Frigorifix/14.02.2026/10:23 ) But still it wasn’t the longest flight of the day. Hans Hedeger managed to squeeze out 64km flying repeatedly from the NSRI to Gerrickes and back! lol ;) https://www.xcontest.org/world/en/flights/detail:hhh/14.02.2026/10:50 Wll done to all of you guys! Oh and for Less for managing his first flight to PiliPili - I think he got his free beer! Lekker! OK, weather today! That Tropical cyclone still hanging out in the Mozambique channel - its super cool to see it on our synoptic maps. :)) Then the IOH is dominating (Its impressive on the synoptic chart - see below) so we are having easterly winds today. They are going to be pretty strong with only a shortish window of flying during the morning. Best spots will be Buffs and Map. Go early so you can catch it when it starts and it should all be over by midday (maybe even earlier). No clouds expected today. I also spotted a chance of a shear wave forming (You can see it on the Map SkewT graph. ;) Lekker! Maybe after yesterday it’s a good rest day. lol ;) The last graph is the three-day outlook and nothing exciting popping up over the next few days either. Enjoy! ;) Low tide this morning at 8:44 and high tide at 14:50. Sunrise was at 6:05 and setting at 19:22 Daylight of 13 hours and 18 min! Max temps today a pleasant 22 degrees C in Wilderness! Have a lekker one everybody and as always, remember also to take a moment and reflect on God. ;) That’s really what life is all about. (John 10:10. Rom 10:9. Eph 4:31-32.)

Todays flying tip: Practice steering with those rear risers - no matter what you are flying. It must become second nature! ;)
