I did notice that you did the usual SLGP track and followed US27 down toward Avon Park then did some Boon-Docking to venture into lands unknown, congratulation's, your conquering of new territory is well noted.
> Looking forward to seeing many more good flights from you motorglider guys up there in the hovel of Clermont. Hopefully I will be threading the needle many more times this season in my "LOWLY 27", as Jim Lee would say. Having a guy come back for the season and do a triangular flight on his first day is a breathe of fresh air. Hopefully I will be hooking up with you soon, Eileen is looking forward to flying in the Arcus with you. Welcome back! OBTP
I noticed there were 11 triangle flights from Seminole Lake this year that exceeded your best triangle, all but one in motorgliders. Maybe you really are flying a "LOWLY 27"? Perhaps it's time for a "HIGHLY 27" (aka ASG 29), eh?
