But, pilots have a great time anyway as the sky is full of those things that we have missed - cu's.

Yes, I really made a big mistake and called Denver City airport as the goal (actually I had wanted it as a turnpoint, but the task committee didn't want to go back to Hobbs from there). The Google Earth photo wasn't good enough to tell us what was really in the field. It turned out to be power lines, fences and stakes.

Molly Moyes says I was depreciating a lot of Moyes gliders.

I dismissed complaints that there might be a problem coming into goal, over the town, with lot of oil fields, but that turned out not to be the problem. The landing field itself was the problem.

Dave Seib had a blistering time making it into goal first averaging 61.53 km/h over the 149.4 km (-16 km start circle) task length. A bit short I'd say. Ninety two pilots out of one hundred and nine made it in.

We'll have pilots who are very happy about the flying, some (not all) unhappy about the LZ, and lots of agitated team leaders at the team leader meeting tomorrow. What fun. Always a challenge.
