Default Kowbell

Today is the Kansas Kowbell Klassic. Free Distance contest, whoever lands furthest away from Sunflower wins.

This should take you to the tracking page for Sunflower: http://glideport.aero/map?p=GlidePort:389

Winning distances in the past 53ish years have ranged from about 3 miles to a little over 550. Today will probably be somewhere in between that.

On a serious note, today is the memorial service in California for Henry Combs, the free distance aficionado who logged 200 straight out diamond distance flights. Hopefully Henry's spirit will be with us today and we can get a diamond distance flight or two here in Kansas.
