Let's hear it for the STDs and 15M ships!



Last Sat 08/09/2014, they took most of the top six places in the U.S. ranging from 643km to 881km. I was the top flight declaring and completing a 750km triangle in my Discus 2A; followed by Marty Eiler - ASW-27; Peter Deane - LS-8; David Greenhill - Discus 2; six place Peter Kovari - DG-300 (that I used to own).



Picking the right day, flying with determination and skill really makes a difference.

More accurate soaring forecasts with the aid of the new sophisticated computer models hasn't hurt either!

In the 1980s, I used to think a 300 km flight was a great achievement, now I'm disappointed if I don't make 500 km!
