GOES East showing cloud streeting from mid-Kansas to mid-Texas (flight start-to-finish) late afternoon.

I'm wondering how the pilots compensated the crew for their ~20 hour round-trip retrieve?

Kinda fuzzy in the beginning since the high res archive didn't start until 1900 UTC.

Dropbox has changed their policy so Public is really no longer public.
Could you post this somewhere else please?

Due to crew unrest, we've upgraded from Whataburger to Braums. As is my tradition they also get ice cream.

Tony...congratulations to you and all! Inspiration for those of the sport
who have just darn good sailplanes of previous generation.
You know, the first time I went to a Whataburger was in the '60's in
Odessa, during the later heydays of long-range Texas soaring. Maybe
sticking with Whataburger is a good omen...RB
