Waikerie
Yesterday (Friday, 19th) was the last day of the Australian Multi-Class Nationals, and a great day to end it on. There were climbs to 14,000' (field elevation a couple of hundred) and fast cruises.
I stayed up until midnight watching the finishes on gtrack. It was an area task, which is not as easy for a spectator to follow as a task with assigned turnpoints, which in turn is not as easy to follow as SGP. Winning speeds were in the 160 to 170km/h range, except 15m (apparently the O'Donnell class), which finished sans Butch Buchanan in his new JS3. It's interesting to follow Adam Woolley "Woolley Pup Pup" who is determined to beat all the gerros - geriatric pilots. And a laugh that in the last two competitions he's flown ASG29s, since he is such a Schempp fan. Goodonya, Adam. Hashtag sorrytilo? Results, as in most of the World, are on Soaring Spot. Jim |
