Any reason why US 15M does not have a tracker today (Day 7)? Â*That means I may have to follow the 18M more closely without switching back and forth. Â*On the plus side I might get some sleep tonight. Â*


Tweeter tweet said only the top guys/gals would be carrying them as their is not enough for all.

Best. #711.

Ouch. 7T landed 2.5km before the finish.

Is Kawa unwell? Very odd to see him so far down the sheets.

So, that's 2 AM Moscow/StP, 1 AM eastern Europe, midnight western Europe, 11 PM UK.

Just wanted to congratulate 5E and XC for great flights on Day 9! Very nice team flying Sean and Erik. They have had a tough start but nice to see them getting into the groove.

Mike Robison was only 1.6 kph behind the winner as well.

20th looks a bit windy and lowish...
With clouds?

18 m and open canceled for the 20th. 15 m on the grid, but on the paved runway because so much rain came down overnight and until about 11 am that the grass runway is to muddy to use.

Forecast of 2-3 kts lift to 4000-5000 ft and 25 kts wind. It's going to be a fun day : )
