Um, did he land after dark?
And will he add another 100k today?

Nope. Keith landed before sunset. Some guys launched before 10am. Some stuck, some didn't. Buoyancy/Shear was very poor Sunday. A few bugged out today, including me. Weather for the next week at Ely is looking iffy.

It was an outstanding day even for Ely. There were over a dozen 1,000 km flights logged on OLC that day. Congratulations to all of them.

Sorta pushing the, "Huge day at Newcastle" decades ago...
Kudos to all that did those miles!

My best is a Diamond distance on thermals from SE NYS...

Some great flights this last weekend!

Absolutely horrible weather, Keith barely managed a 1000km triangle.
