Well, it was an amazing trip to the Owens Valley. Unfortunately, the high winds allowed us only two comp days. Of course the week before was epic, and this week was setting itself up to be awesome with less wind. Out of three days of flying I was able to get some decent cross country flying. 25 miles the practice day, 35 miles the 1st comp day, and 65 miles the 2nd comp day. So, 125 miles in three days.
The week before, there were a couple of pilots that had two 100 mile days. So it can be quite an amazing place when the weather cooperates.
The results for the Nationals:
1st: Dean Stratton (defends his title)
2nd: Josh Cohn
3rd: Peter Schaefer
Women
1st: Meredyth Malocsay
2nd: Melanie Pfister
3rd: Kari Castle
So, the weather is shaping up for flying in the Vail area this week after some rain and snow on the high peaks. This weekend I am planning some thermal and cross country flights from Wolcott. We will see if the fall holds true for some great flying. I hope to get some nice fall pics, so stay tuned.
Cheers
