Yea plenty posted on Facebook. Youve been there done that John, there's plenty of other things for the pilots and crews to do besides writing reports.

I believe John has a valid point.
The Team asks for support, and does give back in several ways.
That said, it is not unreasonable to expect a short note telling supporters what went on. At the 2 WGC events we flew in, my wife Dianne would gather input at our group breakfast, or dinner the night before, and write a report while we got ready to fly. She was also busy- manager at Gawler and manager/captain at Musbach.
She made it a priority as it should be.
Our teams need to do better at communicating with our supporters and fans.. It needs to be on our centralized site so all can find it.
Well done Jim! You were very much in the game.

Whenever John Good crews at a Worlds he sends great reports. It can be done.. Pete Alexander has already started from Czech Republic.

Few points from Ostrow WGC.

1) OGN network was quite spotty, I doubt that "ground controllers" were of any use. Most of the gliders were in sight in large gaggles, no need to flarm radar. Letting polish or french teams to start 3 minutes before and then catch them with flarm, you are out of luck. They are that good.

2) Kawa flew either flarm off or in stealth mode (and got warning for not being visible on tracking). No one leeched him by using flarm.

I agree with Sebastian.
One reason I am not flying this year on Australian team.

Imagine how whiny Kawa would be if he didn’t win.
Don’t worry Tom, you are no great loss.

Civility goes a long way to keeping a functioning newsgroup! Since you mentioned him, Sean Fidler is a real world example. His is one of America's top competition pilots, young and enthusiastic (at least was) about the sport.. He is now off this newsgroup. When we host and share different views points without banal comments everyone benefits.

I 100% agree.

Now THAT's funny! I doubt I'm the only one to notice the irremovable irony
associated with this particular example.
