I am a sailplane pilot who lives in Virginia.
Using Windy.com, I've been able to finally accomplish my 500 kilometer glider flight in early August. By using the wind directions and velocities on Windy, I was able to determine that my flight was able to use the ridges from Strasburg VA, all the way down to Glasgow Virginia, and back to finish my 501.6 kilometer flight. Thanks Windy! My favorite feature is the "Alert Me" feature. I've thought about writing such an application for a long time, and am happy that you did it first.
