Default 1125KM Minden to Steamboat Spgs, CO IGC file available

The April 15 downwind wave flight (IGC file) from Minden, NV to
Steamboat Springs, CO can be viewed by visiting:

under flights.

This flight was completed utilizing wave until western UT and thermals
for the remainder of the flight. The flight was conducted under an
IFR flight plan through LOA's with the applicable ATC agencies. Kudos
to all controllers involved. This flight could not have been done
without the expertise and superb support from the best soaring
meteorologist out there, Doug Armstrong.
Thanks also to Henry Combs for his knowledge and support.
There will be a future writeup in Soaring magazine.
Thanks,
Gordo
