The task was a 143 km straight shot to Town and Country airport just south of Lubbock. We started launching 'em at 1:45 PM and the north launch line had all their guys (55) and four reflights done in an hour. Then we had another dozen reflights straggle in. All wrapped up in an hour and a half.

No accidents unless you count Bill Moyes running out of gas in one of the tugs (and towing like a madman). Steve Burns is here flying a tug (not his own). He gave me a big hug. He wasn't towing like a madman.

Mike Barber is here but on the ground an hour after the last start time (3:45). It was a tough day or at least a tough start with no cu's at all, and lower temperatures than forecast for 2 PM, which, of course, made the lift lighter and lower than forecast. There was a strong inversion at 2,500' AGL, but soon some pilots were able to climb to 5,000' AGL.

More later.
