This October may go down in the history books as the best soaring
weather ever in an Indiana October , and it's not over yet .
The past several days have been outstanding with many, many cross
country miles flown. You only need to check the OLC or the club
contest to verify . Cloudbases on Sunday were 6700msl and lift
averaged around 4 knots. New member Josh Daisey was seen up north
around Converse in his RS 15. Terry Wools, Jerry Simpson and Don
Taylor all flew between 100 and 200 miles .Mario went for broke , but
kept flying into a shower which had him land at the Tregessar airstrip
near Tipton. He was able to promote soaring to the locals who showed
up to help until Chris Murawski rescued him by tow plane..
Nyal and Larry took students on 1 hour flights and Nyal instructed for
nearly 5 hours yesterday.
ZA flew good long tasks which took nearly 5 hours each twice in the
past 3 days and yesterday he landed , de rigged and was leaving the
field at around 6:30 when Josh decided to come on down from 6000 at
that time. My guess is you could have flown to 7pm if you played it
right.
Even if the weather cools off , the ground is so dry all we need is a
cool night followed by a sunny day and someone could easily go get
"The Trophy" back from Caesar Creek as they took it home last
Saturday.
