Default 5-16 First Practice day Mifflin USA 15 meter nationals.

The weather briefing called for 5 kts to 6,000 ft. A TAT was called with a 3
hour window. Turn points were Nisbet and then Bedfort with 25 mile radius
around both. Alot of landouts. Weather didn't pan out. Most cruising done below
4,000 msl. Some streeting. Only 2 got around. SM and P7. A high layer came in
over the area mid day and caused alot of the problems. All ships are home
safe, some getting aero tow retrieves, others trailers. The tie down area is
getting full. Tomorrow we are looking at another practice day. Tomorrow night
will be the pilots meeting and dinner. The yankees are staying above the yellow
taxiway line, no water pistols were fired today. Soar high, fly safe, thermal
tight. # 711 reporting.

I think today the "booby prize" goes out to our new "weatherman" he was a
little off today. So far it looks like the score is Yankees 2, GRITS
EATERS.....ZERO!!!

The aforementioned Kannucks can hold there own. If GJ can't handle his end,
I am sure Cherri CAN!!!!
