How many days did you soar in 2013?

[son_of_flubber]

Mostly Vermont. 44 days in 2013 and twice more if I'm lucky.

I have flown 24 days so far. I have one more week in Estrella coming up. May hit 30 by the end of 2013.

It was a very slow year for me with our airport being repaved and my 2-32 down for several months. I'm at around 35 flights.

Are we talking days or flights? If it's flights, I have 51 flights so far.

So far 61 glider flights in 2013. Looking like wave today, so I'll be
heading out shortly.

(But I'm retired)

About 60 this year - down quite a bit due to a 2-month mountain-enforced hiatus this summer ;-(. OTOH, I have well over 100 flights in Condor since August, and still counting! ;-)

I'm more interested in counting days than flights and I'd also like to know location. I'm wondering if people with longer seasons actually fly more days a year.

Flights (aka tows) is more relevant if you're a student of course, but I think counting "relights" is double counting for most other people.

OLC should give you pretty good idea. You can play around with filters and sort order to get interesting statistics. No doubt Ken Sorenson flew almost twice as many days than anyone else, more than twice a week on average

12 days total, 8 in NC and 4 in upstate NY. 40 flights total, which is the
lowest number in the past 9 years.

[John Carlyle]

I've flown 32 days so far. It's skewed low because of historical rainfall in Jun/Jul.

NJ - 3
Eastern PA - 15
Central PA - 6
VT - 8

70 days so far out of Soaring Club of Houston, but the season is still going so expect another 5 or 6 days to round out an average year as KM would sate.

Only 32 this year, 30 in Antares 20E, 6000 miles XC.
Until yesterday (aarg) average in Antares 4.5 hours and 200 miles.
Only 3 passed over VT ;-)

Hope to fly a few more times this year but its getting
pretty cold and dark up here, no trip down-under planned
this season (though soaring emergencies have been known
to arise).

See ya, Dave "YO electric"

At our recent winch clinic I did 50 instructional flights in one weekend.
