As I am sure most people have already heard, our Team Member Derek Mackie was fatally injured in an off-field landing accident on Day 7 of the Nationals. We are all deeply saddened by his untimely passing and have lost a good friend and wonderful person. He will be dearly missed by all of his soaring friends. Many thanks to all who have emailed to express their condolences.
After Derek's accident, Wednesday was called as a rest day. Today, the weather is not conducive to soaring - in fact - the club PW-5 just landed 10 minutes after release.
The weather for Friday does not look good either and it has already been called so the contest has come to an end. We will all meet at the banquet Friday night to remember Derek and close out the contest.
Dave
