The World Record Encampment - Friday
BJ Herring goes for a 260 mile (418 km) triangle in his ATOS VR.
He started at around 11:30 AM with a sky full of beautiful cu's.
This shot is taken looking east from near the hangar at around 10:40 AM. Pete Lehmann was going to fly south launching a little after noon. Mike Barber
was going to try out a Moyes Litespeed RS. He normally flies a Litespeed S. The
Brazilians were just showing up around noon. http://ozreport.com/txweather.php B.J. was going very slowly. Pete popped a weaklink at ten feet and landed on his
belly on the payment, gouging his knee. He went to the emergency room for that.
Three Brazilians (Eduardo, Paulo, and Alex) towed up between 2 PM and 2:30 PM
into great lift and a cu filled sky. They might try a 100 KM triangle. Mike flew
his test fight and came in and landed on his wheels on the pavement. B.J. flew an out and return to the north. He was getting 600 to 800 fpm lift
later in the afternoon.
