Hi Tony,

Congratulations! Well done. I can't wait to see the OLC page for the
flight.

Tony will post all the details later, but he and his Cherokee flew
from Sunflower Gliderport to Falls City, Nebraska. Should be good for
his Gold Distance! He is going to have a late night retreive, as his
crew should just be arriving now (9:00 CDST).

Look for details tomorrow on OLC! Way to go, Tony!!!!!

just made it home at about 2:45 AM central time. it was a great
flight. late start with a ~1:30 PM tow and I didn't even have gold on
the mind figuring that i started too late. Just kept working downwind
although the wind was light, southwestish at less than 10 knots.
strong lift with cloudbases about 7500 AGL and not too bad sink.
Managed to connect with some convergence south of some rain showers
and barely turned (maybe 3 turns) in the last 40 miles. finished with
193.7 miles from Sunflower. Handicap is 1.54 so should be a pretty
respectable score on the OLC.
