what's so dubious about the ash 25 flights? this airport looks like it's 3000 feet long and situated at an elevation of 2500 feet MSL. that should be plenty especially with a headwind. At harris hill, we used to have a 25 go out with two pilots behind a 235 pawnee in the heat of summer. our field elevation is 1700, and our runway is 1800 feet long...

I'm not the OLC police, but these flights are extremely odd. Taking off with an ASH-25 from Lost River Resort, even with a 260 Pawnee would be sketchy. Self launch is out of the question. (Especially when the airfield is covered with snow) Also, None of the N numbers on this fellow's stable of gliders exist. The anomalous logger fault reports further bring the flights into question. Are people logging Condor flights on OLC?

A couple of curious flights here as well. Especially the ASW-20 flight.

Anyway, maybe somebody can shed some light on these seemingly questionable flights? I love a good mystery....
