congrats to everyone out there, looks like some amazing flights. *I
noticed several of them climbed to above 10,000 feet at one point.
Was there wave or something working in a certain area? *It seemed at
my quick glance that these climbs were all in the same area.

Nice to see a bunch of US pilots in the daily top 10 on OLC.


Tony,

The satellite loops (which I unfortunately COULD see from my
windowless conference room) showed tremendous wave activity through
the eastern states, from New York all the way down through
Tenessee.
