Lots of great stuff happening on the OLC, including the SSA-OLC in the
US. We have had over 600,000 km claimed so far, and the soaring season
is just beginning in most of the US! Sixteen pilots have already posted
flights over 1000km.
The Ridge Soaring Irregulars in PA and Aero Club Albatross in NJ took
the early lead because the ridge season is best early in the OLC year,
but Albuquerque Soaring in NM is quickly catching up.
The OLC league is in it's 5th round, with 55 US clubs scoring so far in
the SSA-OLC League. FAI is sponsoring the IGC-OLC World League, and
Albuquerque Soaring and Black Forest Soaring are the top two clubs in
the world!

It's easy to participate, all you need is a flight logger compatible
with the OLC. All IGC approved loggers are compatible for all claims,
and many non approved loggers are suitable for the OLC Classic. If you
have trouble processing your claims, US pilots cab send an email to
olcatssadotorg for help (or helpatonlinecontestdotorg for all
other countries).
