The third task:

The first leg was north northwest from Quest Air to the Greystone airfield where
John Travolta keep his 737 east of Ocala, then cross/upwind to the field next to
the Williston airfield. No pilots made it, the leaders landing twenty kilometers
from the goal.

The results from task 3 will mix all this up.

Flying the Falcon is a humbling experience where there are great lessons to
be learned. I just wish the classes were a bit longer. I started out in
front about thirty second before the clock started and did find lift, but
went over to even better lift that others found behind me. With a Falcon
basically you just have to stay in the lift and forget about gliding to get
any where.

So I don't get to report on how the race was run. I understand that after the
turnpoint it was very difficult going into the wind. I wonder if Jonny is
happy about that choice of a leg now.  Earlier we had the second leg
going further to the north to Keystone airfield.

Another run out landing:

On Friday we launch at the Live Oak airfield and head north, cross wind.
