Shortest distance flown by wood?? :D

Made it a whopping 16.5 nautical miles (30.5 kilometers) downwind from the airport today. had a great landout in the perfect spot as heavy rains last week made most of the plowed fields quagmire. put it in some grass endrows at the crest of a hill. the field was (surprisingly) dry, must have good drainage. we were actually able to drive through it. Dont worry, no spring tilling or planting had been done, no crops were injured in the production of this flight. Flew to even closer fields in the K6, just 8.54 statute miles from FBL at an L/D of 16. Should have kept that $50 vario I sold to you! RT |

It's funny how the sky always looks great in the photos of your most embarassing landouts. I have this picture on my desk with my Grob Astir in a field. Non-soaring types always comment on the beautiful composition, colors, light and shadow, etc. All of my soaring buddies take one look and ask: "how the **** did you land out on a day like that?!"
