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

Tony,

I finally got around to creating GOES 1km animation of your track on the downwind May 4, 2017 flight... and here it is in two parts.. a northern half:

and a southern half:

John Bird's Satellite look looks great for this latest flight, Sep 2017. I'm using Unidata's IDV program, GPSBabel to convert igc file to something compatible. I hope to created a track that will move with the satellite time. It just requires more study and work.
