I had longest distance with 199 miles to the northeast. Steve and Andrew both landed at Watonga, OK airport. I think Steve said about 145 miles. Jerry Boone in the Diamond Duster landed near Inman, KS, about 20 miles north.


Tony forgot to mention his excellent support team in the Screaming Eagles who trailed him by only 57 minutes. Cough Cough

They got props in my OLC Comments

Yes, Tim & Alex, forever known now as the Screaming Eagles, did a fine job figuring out the quickest way to get to where I would eventually land. Less than an hour after touchdown they pulled in the driveway and we were soon on the road back to Wichita.

At least if the three of us ever learn to play some musical instruments and sing, we have a band name. Kate & the Screaming Eagles

What a neat meet. I was just wondering if and how many such meets like this are available.

Every summer weekend at the Crystal Squadron......

I very much look forward to an opportunity to get to fly with the crystal squadron. Have met many of them and been there once but only on the ground.

Long time followers of RAS will know that free distance flying is where my heart is. You just can't beat the liberation that comes along with leaving home and trying to get as far away as possible!
