Happily, conservatism ruled the day. The vast majority of the incomplete tasks resulted in landings at New Castle International. I had three of those! The few field landings were well executed. I had one of those too:

We didn't put so much as a scratch on a glider.

While there was a certain amount of disappointment associated with busted score sheets, we wrung every day dry, flying 7 out of 8 days and loving every minute of it.

Big thanks to BRSS and CM Charlie Cole for hosting yet another excellent New Castle contest.

Great to hear that all involved were happy with the event from all aspects. Congratulations to those who organized and executed is a way that provided such a wonderful and safe experience for all!

Sounds like NC should be on a bucket list!
