Daniel is making another run on a 1000k 1-26 flight. Looks like he is running well with an early start this morning. Go Daniel!

He made his turn, running fast again SW. He gained some time for himself, may need it later today.

About half-way through 1000K in 5 hours . Well designed course has all of the downwind transitions early and late in the day. The toughest transition is coming up in the next hour.

Third TP is somewhere along the Tuscarora I think just short of Dickies (aka Lockings). After that, it's back home to a finish abeam Blairstown. Right now, he's rocking and rolling along the Tuscarora getting close to Burnt Cabins. With 8,000 foot bases, I've got to believe this is going to happen.

Last transition coming up. Short of a complete meltdown in the next 30 minutes, it looks like 1000K in a 1-26. That would be good for a whole bucket-load of class World Records (both 1-26 and 13.5M). Amazing flight.
