Every one was off quickly once again. Flip Koetsier, the CIVL President was full of praise for the organization, the ground crew, and the tug pilots. He is real happy with how well things are going.

The task is 185 km long with a dogleg at LaMesa and then a 114 km leg to the north northeast to Crosby, a one plane crop dusting airport. The pilots were a buzzing mass ball over the north launch. Dustin got off low and we got to watch him slowly work his way up.

The wind was still out of the south at about 10 mph. It is supposed to be southeast later in the day down low, but still south up at 8,000' MSL - the top of lift. There were a few cu's to the south before we launched but they were soon gone.

The north launch.
