Sunday wrap-up

Sorry for the late report, we had some internet problems.

Nick finished the 497.8 km task with a speed of 121.3 km/hr.  Today, Monday, he's taking a rest day.

Jerzy was first on the 18m/15m grid, and completed the 500.4 km task at 138.9 km/hr.  Today, Monday, he's taking a rest day.

The immediate area of the airport was blue, but south of the airport there was 2-3/8ths of Cu - more than forecast.

Open class had a 570.1 km task and the top speed was 143.5 km/hr.  Just another "normal" day in West Texas!

Dave is flying today.  Ed's LS-10 is undergoing scrutineering this morning.  Yesterday, Concordia and a modified ASW22 didn't fit in the hangar for inspection - when I was there with F1, the 18m ASG29 and another ASG 29 fit ok - kind of puts the size of open class in perspective.

Towplanes continue to arrive to increase the size of the fleet.

Weather - 74F right now, high 102.  Winds SE 10-15 kts.
Tuesday - "near record high temperatures - 104F"
Wed - 104 F
Thu - 102 F (might have to get a sweater in case I get a chill).

Next report after the pilot's meeting.
