From the ground today, it looked like a classic Uvalde day. 8000 Cumulus bases, great Streets. Lots of smiles from our pilots at the end of their 620-680km  speed tasks, finishing a little before 7pm. Most started just before 2:30pm with a 7 pm ETA, and came back early.
Brad commented that it was like the good flying days in 1991, and much closer to the great final glides experienced last year. (He reckons that he is now ready to start the comp – just had the right amount of practice!). All were final gliding from 140km away, and picking up glide and speed just flying straight under the streets.
Tom Claffey was frustrated, 150kph and only 17th place! (but worth more than 900 points – close racing). He was smiling when he said it.
All of our pilots did well and David Jansen placed 6th with 952 points for the best result.
Peter and Lisa were having a great day when their class was cancelled as a consequence of the mid air collision. – It is great news that Peter and Louis are both OK. We have no news on how this tragic collision happened.

Our cunning plan is slowly gathering pace. Will release the details after tomorrows flying! Terry
