I'm wishing for streets with bases at 18,500ft. That way I can maintain legal cloud separation and not get an airspace violation while running at 17,499ft. Andy (GY) |

Why not wish for cloud bases at 19,000ft so that you can fly all the way to 17,999ft (at least in U.S. airspace)? I must be missing something. |

US (SSA sanctioned) contest rules provide for a penalty for coming within less than 500ft of the floor of a "prohibited" airspace area. Andy Andy |

I still don't see it on looking back up thread. So I'm already confused on the first day of the year! That means things can only get better! ;-) |

Well, as I live in Canada the 18,000 cloudbase would be more difficult
for me to exploit, and I don't have an oxygen system installed anyway... But what the hell, I'll be generous and hope everyone does get those 18,000 cloud streets. I'll try not to be too jealous! |
