Hey all
I've always been intrigued by Wally Scott and Co and all the open distance flights they did.
Would pilots be interested in having a meet at Odessa or ? and have a OLC contest and then when the stars aligned go for it downwind?
What do you guys think?
I'd sure like to do 700-800+ miles.

Odessa Schlemeyer is under the Class C Midland airspace and no longer a viable glider port due to altitude restrictions. Stanton to the east or Monahans to the southwest would be better airports to start from (hold a x-c camp)
