- Introduction
The confusion continued about the weather and so we decided on a 316 km triangle racing task that would keep us all reasonably close to the airport. However, several of us saw that conditions were better looking toward the second turnpoint so 4 of us decided to do the task in reverse order. It was fun flying. I covered 327km in 2 hours & 50 minutes on course for an average speed of 72 mph(116 kph). I flew total time of 3:25 in the air. The storms gave us a break and stayed away in our task area (although we could see them elsewhere). All in all a good, fun non dramatic day. Here is a link to the barogram for today’s flight: I’ve no idea what caused the vertical colored lines – but you can see the altitudes clearly. Note the standard 1500’ agl tow.
