Today at Mountain Valley Airport, Tehachapi, California there were about 18 10k flights! Weather was 66F/19C and sunny, but no real lift.
Five of the flights were in three sport canopy equipped 1-26s participating in the annual Open Cockpit Regatta. We'll get some up on OLC.

10,000' altitude? Or 10 kilometers distance?

The lowest OLC scores of the day!
Five ten kilometer distance flights in three open cockpit 1-26s on New Year's Day in the Northern Hemisphere.
Todd's 1-26 is painted just like the one in a Disney classic which was filmed locally. He had to go straight to work, didn't get to upload the flight within the 48 hour limit somehow deemed necessary.
