Tin Cup

(This topic is in: <-- Apr.3'08 Apr.2'08 Mar.22 Mar.21 )

It's windy outside. (Quest Air)

As the winds continue out of the east, I continue to work hard here at the Oz Report world headquarters (actually I'm in the Quest Air club house as we are redoing the outdoor antenna and it should be back up tomorrow), working on new scoring software for competitions and getting the waypoints setup.  More information for the Oz Report also.  Stay tuned.

Waypoints

Many formats all scoped out with Google Earth (Quest Air)

I've created new waypoints for the US Nationals at the Florida Ridge, Flytec Championships at Quest, Flytec Race of Champions at Quest, and the Worlds at Big Spring.  I'm working on the waypoints for the Santa Cruz Flats, and the East Coast Championships.  You can find the waypoints here:

Quest Air on Monday and Tuesday

Cu's, brisk east northeast wind. (Quest Air)

Monday and Tuesday are dominated by east winds.  Nice cu's on Monday but way too many clouds on Tuesday.  After that week of great weather it is too bad to see this.

Dustin was here (now in Brazil) and since he has talked Belinda and I into going to the Santa Cruz Flats competition in Casa Grande, Arizona (just south of Phoenix) in early May, we'll be reporting on that competition, also.  In fact we'll be reporting  on site at six competitions through August and off-site from half a dozen more.

I have the southwest weather page up on the Oz Report now in time for the Santa Cruz Flats competition: http://ozreport.com/swweather.php.

In Memory of Tim Travers

A cute little video of someone who does need a harness.  Like back in the days when men were men and hang gliding was dangerous.
