Haase (as relayed personally to me) made a string of very low saves (albeit all over very landable terrain) and was thus able to tiptoe his way to victory that day. He was then able to defend his lead until the contest ended. It was a brilliant flight, not luck. Some pilots are just better at that kind of flying than others. For example, in Belgium, they have a maximum altitude of 3,000' due to controlled airspace over the entire country. Those guys fly low a lot. Did he mention his thermal detector?! This is pretty good stuff, especially the last two paragraphs. The good ole days https://www.flightglobal.com/FlightP...20-%200010.PDF |
