3 New Diamonds and Lennie #1's at the Mt. Washington Wave camp yesterday.
Potentially a new state record as well, but verifying the logs.

Tows were as low as 2K, with highest climb in the 32K range

To answer the specific question about Mt. Washington, yes, we work very closely with both the Boston Center controller, as well as the NORAD Eastern Air Defense Sector and the National Guard, as we are flying inside of a MOA/ARTCC as well. We have very rarely (recently) been locked out from using the airspace on a given day, or limited to FLXXX, but have at times had to wait for the military folk to finish their training before going over 18. The FAA and NORAD folks have been very accommodating and appreciate hearing the updates when we make good use of everything we are given.
