I have been looking at OLC and trying to make a determination as to had the best flight of the day in North America. Now listen, no politics here, just flight evaluation and the cut off time is midnight on the East Coast. No flaming liberals shall post. Bob

Early in the day but it looks like Zimmerman did well today in the Carolina's, nothing here in Florida as of yet, Maybe the motorglider guys will post later. Bob

Saturday was a pretty active day, lots of flights and the Minden Tahoe flight in the Ventus was 400k triangle, well done.

After taking a look at the flights from yesterday all you need to say is Minden! Good to see Jim in the air. Bob

Oregon flight in the Antares was tops overall yesterday.

Minden once again, good job Jim.

Over 1K KM in the DG1001M Penn down to WV. Great flight.

I liked Dan's 750 km triangle better. Nice flight Dan, you made it look routine.

I agree, Sazhin’s 750km triangle was much more of a challenge than 1,000km on the ridges.

So sayeth The Dude

I agree. Sazhin’s 750km was much more challenging than 1,000km on the ridges

I also must agree, I do like triangles, glad to see that someone else recognized the triangle. I will do a bit of backwalking here and give kudos to the triangle. Bob

Looks like Minden was very good yesterday.

Not so good for me today.Â* Since I rode my Harley to the airport, I wore
jeans, which I haven't done for flying for years.Â* The wallet in my hip
pocket was pure torture and I had a cable come loose on my ClearNav,
disabling the control buttons on the stick.Â* After about 0.9 hours, I
just had to land.

I give a big way to go for the guy in the Std. Cirrus yesterday in Kansas. Tony Condon did a very nice triangle, great flight.

It was fun! Leah gave me an auto tow behind our Subaru Outback. First launch was a little too early. Classic post frontal conditions though, fairly early start, late finish, high cloudbases. Battery died about the time I made it back to Sunflower. Need to get a dual setup! Couldn't quite get enough altitude at the end to open it up to a 500km free triangle.

Tony, that was a great flight, and I am laughing at the auto tow with the Subaru. Great job Amigo!!
