Today Gordon Boettger flew his Kestrel on a 3TP flight of about 1800km out of Minden, Nevada. A sunrise takeoff lead to the first turn near Chilcoot, then South to near Inyokern, back North to Susanville, then down to Palmdale. This flight handily beats my flight of last year on a similar route. Gordon had clearances to 23,000 and sometimes 28,000 feet and was mostly screaming along. Ah, just another day in the Sierra Nevada wave..... Several years ago, when I was in Minden for some wave flying, a local glider pilot looked up at the lennies and said scornfully, "Another parade day!". Of course, he was just thinking of pilots zipping back and forth inside the "wave window" and not going beyond it's limited extents. I'm sure he knows better now! -- Change "netto" to "net" to email me directly Eric Greenwell Washington State USA
