Start gate was open 13:56.
Weather didn't cooperate at first part of the task area .
After one hour in to flight we knew that those who will be able to fly
fast have chance to finish. For others it will be very hard with high
risk of land out just short of finish.
Last 160km was just fight to survive on last weak thermals in addition
thunderstorms North of Uvalde cut thermals.
We have large spread of speeds today, but it looks that all pilots from
our class finished and some of them finished well after 8PM

Great flying guys! I was on the edge of my seat all afternoon looking at radar, satellite and your progress on the tracker.
ReplyDeleteNick must have flown through some pretty dense stuff in the hill country. Too bad he ran out of day so far away. I hope Christine was already on her way before he landed.
Does anyone know what happened to Zbigniew Nieradka? - JS
