 Canadian Base - nice sunshade, and a lot better than the square ones usually seen.  We leave it up at night - secured with 12 pegs.  We see a couple of the others with ripped tops already, this one just leans a bit and distributes the load (so, in essence, we have a Sun Tzu tent, bending like a reed in the wind (last Sun Tzu quotation of the blog, I promise)).

 First time I've seen Dick Butler's Concordia - wow. Those wings just go on and on... This was, I think, 3rd to go on the parallel (open class) taxiway - the sky is just starting to develop. 15 and 18m launch from the main runway.  The launch operation is quite well done, the grid's gone in just over an hour.

A dust devil blew through as Nick and Christine were working on ST.  This was around 1400 local.  There have been a lot of these today - not so much the last two days.

Dave should be back around 1840 CDT.
