The weather over the past 8-10 days has been phenomenal, and many pilots are posting some tremendous flights. Just a few mentions:
- Paul Remde and copilot flew a 412-mile downwind dash landing in Missouri - Barry Jaeger and Dick Andrews yesterday flew the first-ever 750K triangle flown in MN, and I believe recently another 500K O&R. - Dr Dan Johnson in Menomonie WI flew many long triangles - Lou Chouinard flew several flights in excess of 300K at some pretty solid speeds - Darryl Dodson has flown an AC-5M on several very long O&R and triangle flights out of Cumberland WI - Steve Kennedy has flown long flights from Osceola WI - Herb Killian out of Chicago and several other chicago-area pilots have been flying 300+K tasks and maybe even a 500K or two. This will likely be one of those time periods people will refer back to many years from now. Happy Soaring! |
