Its not that its a problem, its a great motivator to get people to go
cross country. Just bothers me that I am considered guilty of cheating
until proven innocent.
Its not stopping me from going ahead for it in any way.

IMO the FAI abd IGC should be approached about using commercial GPS's
for badges and records. A few years ago the hang gliding and
paragliding community got the FAI to allow the use of Garmin GPS's for
badges and world records. It took much discussion between the pilot
representatives, FAI and Garmin.

We should work towards reducing barriers.

What bus company has a route that goes from Lone Pine
to Tehachapi?


Greg,
CREST from Lone Pine to Ridgecrest, Inyo from
Ridgecrest to Mojave, Kern from Mojave to Tehachapi.
Takes most of the day and only runs M, W, F - but
it was fun to prove it can be done.

So was the flight, I'll post it on OLC after the
'official' download.

No, I wasn't jailed for it, just wishful thinking
by Js.

Ian
