Racing airspace

This was the first day of the Southwest Soaring Championships flown from Tucson Soaring Club. The CD set a long and challenging task that proved too long, mostly because of a late start. Only one contestant completed the task, three landed out and the rest (including me) abandoned. We routinely fly over Tucson Class C as it's often the quickest and safest way home from tiger country. And since no one is mentioned it yet, it is perfectly legal to overfly a Class C without a transponder and without being in radio contact with the tower, as long as you are above 10000 ft MSL. This is a fairly common move in the western half of the US... Marc
