(4,000' AGL) a nice stiff breeze at 14 mph and higher out... mehr

The sun came out, the registration desk opened up, the projector
for the computer with the weather forecast and task showed up, Jamie Shelden
showed up to help with registration, the Americans are lagging behind, on their
way to Forbes, and we all went out to the airfield for a real practice day,
after a day of rain and clouds.
The airfield... mehr

Jamie Shelden tells me that the Flytec Race and Rally now has fifty pilots
signed up to fly in it, which is her limit unless she finds another tug and also
decides that she wants to do more than fifty pilots. But just because fifty
pilots have signed up doesn't mean that those pilots get a spot in the meet.
It's the first fifty pilots who... mehr

Jeff O'Brien started us on this path with this:Then he inspired Ricker Goldsborough, who raised money among his friends in the
Tennessee Treetoppers.

Guayaquil and the school... mehr

The last few days have seen rain in Forbes, and Rylstone,
Newcastle, and Sydney. The papers are full of the news of rain and there is
predicted flooding in some locations. Looks like it will dry out as the week
progresses and we approach the start of competition on the third of January.Oz weather can be found at the
