Schweizer1-26 from what was then Henderson Sky Harbor, NV, to Searchlight,
NV. I arrived with only 10,000 feet to spare. I'm a little bit conservative. "Graham Hodgson" wrote in message ... What aircraft did you do your silver distance qualifying 50k flight in? |

Hi BTIZ,
No, I moved away in 1979. I understand that the Las Vegas soaring scene has changed considerably since then. I should have added to my post that after arriving over Searchlight with 10,000 AGL I proceded to land downwind and downhill. Felt like I was flying a Nimbus rather than a 1-26. I learned a lot of "never do agains" from that flight. Kind regards, Bryan "BTIZ" wrote in message news:EFNxc.7642$fZ1.4420@fed1read03... Bryan.. are you still in NV? BT "Bryan" wrote in message ...
