Hi Tony,

Is that your longest flight yet? It has been fun watching your flight
distances and speeds increase over the last year or 2. Well done. It is

clear you are having a lot of fun!

Paul,

not my longest flight yet, but top 5. Longest was a few years ago at 105
miles. I've had at least three flights (2 this season) in the 90-100
mile range.

I am definitely having fun.

Today i decided to run east towards Wichita, since I had to get home
tonight anyway. 2000 AGL tow from Ulysses followed by a good thermal that
I took to 10,300 feet MSL!!! thats the highest the Cherokee has ever flown!
I started to run east and was joined by Steve in the Nimbus after a while
but then there was big shadows and some buildling T-storms that shut
everything down. I delayed for a while attempting to make headway into
the 25 mph wind (HA) then made a run to the east a little further but
missed and landed in a dirt field. nice farmer who helped de-rig.

40 miles total distance from ulysses. Once I figure out how to download
off this Cambridge, I'll post to the OLC. Should be fun to see the spot
where I was "stuck" for about an hour.
