Default Hobbs 2019 18M/Open Class Nats. Day 5 6/24/2019

Task Alpha 3:45 TAT opened at 13:50
We are enjoying a classic contest in Hobbs through the work of the SSA, the local clubs and volunteers. The ramp at Hobbs is an enormous 90 acres of concrete. The associated runways make for a spectacular facility. But the industrial airport is aging and needs our help. Grass, trees and dirt are starting to overrun the airport. Two years ago the informal Hobbs Maintenance Fund was created to help fund needed maintenance. Â*Local rancher and soaring club member Dale Briscoe has spent countless hours knocking back the grass on the ramp. A long term plan is needed to preserve this irreplaceable resource. An informal organization is coming together to form better connections with the City and other stake holders to make the maintenance of Industrial a priority. Â*Stay tuned for future developments. Questions? contact John Seaborn. I have posted before and after pix on the gallery page of the SSA contest web site

Looks like it was a good day for the Potch boys.
In 18m JS3s A8, 2T and JS3 in 1, 2, 3.
And the JS1-C 21 is ruling the Open class, although I'd like the oldest glider in the class to win.
