Mario reports:
We had a good day to fly. Not great but good and fun.
Ceiling was around 4500 MSL. Thermals were narrrow and capricious.
However, we had 7 planes in the air at one time.
In the following order:
Ron Clarke in ZA,
Mike Nichols QT,
Kurt Ristow 8UP,
George Saunders G102 CS,
Tom Ruble CAT,
Gerry Simpson IZ
and yours truly (Mario) G103
Everyone flew XC except George and Mario.
Unfortunately, after 2.5 hours of flight to Converse and back, in
uncomfortable conditions, Gerry discovered that his logger didn't record
a single point, because, his GPS never acquired enough satellites.
( Checklist item: Antenna working properly?)
Thanks to Larry Miller for the tows, George for his help moving planes
around. And congrats to all the XC-points hungry pilots.
