The Soaring Weather Is Hot

Alexandria has turned into Minden East this summer! We have seen some spectacular soaring conditions, with thermals reaching 8000 feet and lift hitting 600 -700 feet per minute at times. Our expanding list of XC guys has been taking advantage of it, turning in some really nice flights in the first week of July.

On Friday, July 6 Brad and Kurt flew up, and most importantly, back from Sturgis, MI. (Ask Kurt how many neighboring states he has flown to in the Discus.)

Brad is holding on to a slim lead for first place after four flights, but ZA is coming up the scorecard. With many more weeks and flights to go, there will be many changes in the standings. The contest scores your best 4 flights during the year, so those with four flights under their belt, it will be up to them to exceed their lowest scoring flight.
