Phantom flights?
I'm not the OLC police, but these flights are extremely odd. Taking off with an ASH-25 from Lost River Resort, even with a 260 Pawnee would be sketchy. Self launch is out of the question. (Especially when the airfield is covered with snow) Also, None of the N numbers on this fellow's stable of gliders exist. The anomalous logger fault reports further bring the flights into question. Are people logging Condor flights on OLC?
http://www.onlinecontest.org/olc-2.0...=57815&sp=2016 A couple of curious flights here as well. Especially the ASW-20 flight. http://www.onlinecontest.org/olc-2.0...htId=983686453 Anyway, maybe somebody can shed some light on these seemingly questionable flights? I love a good mystery.... Greetings from rainy NW Washington State. Ron Clark LS-3 77 |

I am not saying they are real flights, but Condor does not have an ASH25 or ASW20 in its aircraft packs.

Phantom flights?
what's so dubious about the ash 25 flights? this airport looks like it's 3000 feet long and situated at an elevation of 2500 feet MSL. that should be plenty especially with a headwind. At harris hill, we used to have a 25 go out with two pilots behind a 235 pawnee in the heat of summer. our field elevation is 1700, and our runway is 1800 feet long...

Greetings from rainy NW Washington State. Ron Clark LS-3 77 ok, so i watched the ASW 20 flight and i think i agree. no one would fly like that. this is either fake, or this person has huge cajones and a death wish. even so, some parts of the trace seem unusual as far as being able to just maintain altitude like that. |

And the 20's N number has been registered to a Cirrus SR22 for many years...

Yes Ron, it's weird that none of the N numbers are real. He posts comments like they are real flights. But what is real and what is fake these days? Facts and reality don't seem to matter anymore, eh? Does anybody know this Alex Krauss? I am not able to find him on Facebook and he's not a SSA member....

Wow! Not on Facebook, therefore he can't exist. Wait... I must not
exist, either... On 11/15/2016 8:55 AM, Waveguru wrote: Yes Ron, it's weird that none of the N numbers are real. He posts comments like they are real flights.

Also, Lost River airport has a published width of 85 feet. Same width as the ASH-25's span. It is extremely unlikely these flights ever happened.
Alex should find some other way to entertain himself. RC |

I used to fly a Nimbus 4 off a 60 foot wide runway. Your statement assumes much without a logical conclusion.
