Default 2017 18 Meter Nationals on Facebook Live

Bojack,

Thx. Just for clarification, I never really went below 2k but many others were well lower at times. I was working between 1800 and 2400 (top of climb) for a good 60-80 miles of 206 mile task.

It was manageable, and the ClearNAV Glide Amoeba was particularly useful in keeping track of airports and what was needed to push forward.

This was a hard task but was very fun in the sense that I was incredibly excited when I finally got into a position where I felt a sure distance day was going to be a finish. Congrats to all the pilots who finished this task. Truly impressive work!
