TT 1000 km attmept

I am sure Tim will provide an excellent write up when he has time. He
is a professor at the local University and he was able to sneak away
today during finals. This flight attempt was many days in the
making. Tim has been scouting out the weather patterns, length of day
light, flight paths, etc for a 1000KM flight in north Utah for many
years. He called this attempt on Friday, coordinated the tow and
planned on wheels up at 8am. He made a great attempt and I am
convinced he will obtain his 1000K flight in UT soon. He did comment,
via his iPhone after walking 2 miles to get a signal, that he thought
the SPOT device would send 2 HELP signals and then stop. Once he
understood that it will send the HELP signal for a long period of
time, he turned the device off.

many folks locally were watching and kicked in gear to arrange the
retrieve.

Good luck at your next attempt Tim!
