Epic day on course today. The first half was slow and difficult, but things picked up in a huge way. Pilots were reporting lift over 15,000ft. The first gaggle coming in had a 50km final glide for 45 minutes....they were complaining of freezing fingers - hard to imagine with the 108 degree record high temperature on the ground.
Only seven flexies in goal, but several landed just short (probably about 2 kilometers or less). Mitch Shipley had his first day win!! Brian and Steve in the Swift class made it in. Steve said that was his longest flight ever - both time and distance - and his highest altitude.
