Big SouthEast Ridge Day in Progress in the Appalachians

[Papa3[_2_]]

A unique weather pattern has set up, resulting in very strong S to SSE flow in the central and eastern Appalachians. A number of gliders operating out of Blairstown are attempting speed tasks. Bill Thar (BT) flying a Duckhawk is visible on the SSA Tracker site. He appears to be almost to his southern turnpoint (PA Turnpike tunnels). Check out the SSA tracker site to watch this and other flights: http://www.ssa.org/sailplanetracker/default.asp

I'm only seeing Minden on the list of sites... What am I doing wrong?

The flights were yesterday. Use the back arrow at the bottom of the screen or the calendar to select Monday.

BT's tracker went out just after the first turnpoint. Checked OLC later, he made it back.
Minden/Nampa flights today are not in gliders.

Same weather pattern in Lake Placid NY gave a 23 000 foot wave flight
