Default Day 2 Seniors USA 2009 711 reporting.

KS wins day 2. A TAT of 2 hrs and 40 mins and 5 turn areas. Of course,
my student, YO, will tell you he won but he is flying as a guess and
after he gets nailed with the handicap Dave slip slides away. But, he
is having a great time as all are.
Reported climbs better than expected and winning distance was about
174 miles.
Several areas we had to tip toe through and late day gave higher
altiudes(5,000 msl) making the way home easier.
Top 4 are KS, KM, 5U and 711. More should get posted on the SSA
website shortly. That's about all I can remember for
now...............

Thermal tight, Soar high, Fly safe. #711 reporting
