Good to hear Walt, I just got back involved myself, but down (up) graded from the pilatus b4 and my bro's ventus back into doing some 1-26 record chasing. I sure do miss the minden susanville mt patterson bishop soaring and wave scene however. Its a vastly different world soaring this swamp country of n. Fl and s. Al.

Plan B it is. Wasn't sure the wave was going to be consistent over the Basin and Range.. HRRR seemed to show just a short time when things lined up.
Jet Pilot is a late starter today... Perhaps another speed run? How do you beat last week's 305kph over 300K?
The Glideport.aero tracking site gained the ability to view regional flights a couple of weeks ago, so looking at [California and Nevada] shows Russ Owens, Larry Armi, Dennis Tito, Jet Pilot and Gordo. flying out of Lone Pine, Inyokern and Minden.
