Default Region 11 Truckee, California - FINAL CONTEST DAY - GOES-17 vis Videoand Flight Track

Kudos..

to the R11 organizers, CDs and pilots for pulling of a difficult contest. Poor weather resulted in 4 days of contest flying including one California Grand Prix task.

The last day was the only real racing day, won by John Cochrane "BB" in his ASH-31mi. It shows a classic Minden/Truckee racing day in fair to good conditions. Final summary of that day:
