Default Please send me logs, stories of flying in thermal wave over the plains

The Ohio record was set by Frank Paynter (TA) on wave day near Caesar Creek.. You would have to check what day that was, but chances are the flight is on OLC. A number of CCSC pilots were up and flying in it that day. From what i understood, it required having a decent cloud street with a 90-degree wind shift over top. The pilots essentially built up energy under the street then zoom climbed up on top of the Cu's to enter the wave above.
