Tony Condon is on a downwind dash from Wellington, KS. Last I heard,


goal was somewhere in Texas. Cloud base should be pushing 7000 AGL, and


tailwinds in excess of 30 knots. B/S ratio forecast is pretty low, but


I have flown on similar sorts of days and found the lift to be very


good. Will see how it turns out for him!








Feel free to spend the rest of your afternoon watching his progress instead of working.










Can no longer get the Spot link to open. Works fine for the Holliday flight.

Stuck in the office...




Just got word that Tony made it to DeQuincy, LA. Seems that he missed TX

:-)



According to sky vector he covered 524 statute miles. Way to go Tony!

My calculations (great circle) show a total of 524.9 miles at 80.1 mph. Nice flying!
