Default Happy March from Tony Condon

Did everyone see that Tony celebrated March 1 by heading downwind for over 500 km?

I think his latest RAS post was probably from on the ground NE of Dallas.

Note:trace is from my phone tracker. The low points weren't THAT low.

Was wondering a couple of days ago if that would be happening.

No, Matt. Notice that launch is from below ground from the trace (phone tracker). As it was happening, it looked to me like lowest spot was around 1200 feet AGL. Still, that is low enough.

Yea, about 1200 AGL twice. You're right, plenty low. Updated the file so it shows properly:

Tony,
Great flight! Why does OLC show legs 4 - 6 with zero thermals and no circling when the graph shows many big climbs?

legs 4-6 were basically my traffic pattern at Paris. Legs 1-3 were the flight there.
