Stepping off the podium now.
Bruno - B4
Bruno,
I might be one of the people you are talking about because I did make
a negative post about the contest. Let me apologize if anyone took
exception to my post. During the contest I got to listen in on a
couple of bitchfests from a large group of competitors, Including some
who were doing quite well on the scoresheet. Then there was grumblings
from a couple of the Tow Pilots (One of whom I knew personally). As an
added bonus I was in earshot of a, lets say spirited discussion among
some of the contest management. As a low time glider pilot (As you
know only about 500 hours) I should have approached this from a
standpoint of determining how much of this was normal at a contest.
Instead, I kinda jumped on the bandwagon. Again, I should have been
more constructive.
So, to put all that behind us, I think Logan is a great mountain site
and is safer than some of the mountain sites Ive flown. As you know,
Between learning to fly gliders in Durango and Telluride and then
flying the coastal mountains of California and now Utah, I have never
flown a sailplane in flatlands. With out proper training flatlands can
be intimidating
