Default Another Great Day at Moriarty

Mid week and great for us retired folks.

We took the top three places in the world today.

We had visiting pilots in a Duo Discus and they placed number 6 in the
world.

Well done Dan, but to add to your bragging, there were a number of good thermal flights on the right side of the Mississippi, for example near Chicago and in Ontario as well as New England. But yes, flying during the week is fun.

Default Another Great Day at Moriarty

Well, I didn't really intend to brag - I was trying to boost soaring at
Moriarty. I don't usually score that high, and that was nice, too.

Today I flew the tow plane. Winds down the runway were 10 gusting 32 and
there were dust devils everywhere. Those who went up had a great day. Two
were still up when I put the tug away.
