Default Tony Condon JS3 - Downwind Hutchinson to Gulf Coast ... Now

The low scrape involved burning a couple gallons of diesel, unfortunately.

It was 1000km day and I was doing so so until I somehow fell out of the sky there. Once I got back up I decided might as well keep going since it was a kick-ass soaring day.

Climbed better without water, imagine that cranked the mc up to 4 And the Lx said I'd be to Abbeville LA by 7 pm just as TopMeteo predicted last night.

By Paris I was having issues with low batteries. Apparently the battery charger doesn't actually do that charging thing...

So I turned back towards my crew and landed at Antlers Oklahoma. He should be here soon and we'll be home tonight, late.

Sucks to let one slip away especially when I had the chance to do it in Leo's Js-3!
