Several or two?

Proofread before posting, this forum does not allow editing posts after the fact......

Yes, good info can be attained from either of these events, worth going to.

Still trying to get my diamond altitude from Middletown, then I can claim all SSA badges from one site, especially in the NE. Last I looked, there were 6 diamond altitude's in NYS....trying to make 7. :-)
The 1000K is a tough nut to crack from here though......:-(

Yes, I have from "A" to 2 diamonds from Middletown, not in a 1-26 though, kudos to Ron Schwartz for that......

Carry on in this thread......

Sorry about the typo.

A Diamond climb from Middletown/Wurtsboro is definitely doable. But a low notch near Wurtsboro is definitely required. Would be tricky to do it over Middletown Airport.

Regarding a 1000km flight, if you take a high tow near High Point, it would be doable to connect with the Blairstown ridge. You might not make Middletown at the end of the day, but the task need not be a closed circuit.

All the best,
Daniel
