Photos from Day 5 at the WGC in Uvalde

[Paul Remde]

Hi,

I found a very nice spot to take photos of the gliders on final approach to
landing on Day 5 (Thursday) of the World Gliding Championships in Uvalde,
Texas. Thank you to photographer Yasuhiro YAMA for his recommendation of
this photo location.

The complete set of photos is here:

My favorite shot is this one of Dick Butler in his Concordia sailplane.

There are out on task on Day 6 now. The task set is a long one - so I don't
expect them back before 6 or 7 PM U.S. Central Time.

Good Soaring,

Paul Remde

It's already 6:30pm cst; getting darker; weather coming in twrds
Uvalde; and they're still out on course. Looks like DB was a bit
behing, then recently caught up with SS not too far behind the leaders
so far. Might be a challenge to finish w/o landing out?

Enjoyed and thank you. I know they are harder to get but how about HD pictures of panels of the top 3-4 leaders? Appreciated.
