Default Phantom flights?

Maybe we should get revenge and post real flights on Condor? And if you are not on Facebook it does not mean you do not exist, it just means you must have a lot to hide?...

This is all really rather strange....I have been carefully looking at the flight out of Moriarty on 2-18-16 and I do believe it is most likely, a fake.. The fact that there is no glider registered with that N number and the fact that this pilot seems to be a real mystery person with no apparent history, also seems to support the idea that something very strange has occurred here. Since Roswell is not that far away from Moriarty, I have called in Fox and Scully from "The X-Files" and they are now on the case!

Now, I used to joke that it if a flight was not on the OLC it did not "happen." Now, I am beginning to wonder if what I thought was "real" is perhaps not necessarily "real." Assuming we are not actually living in "The Matrix," I do hope the OLC folks take a close look at these strange flights to determine what may really be happening.....

Finally, please excuse me as a phone is ringing at a nearby pay phone booth (yes, they do still exist in "The Matrix") and I need to make my escape......back to reality..(I hope)...My apologies to those who never saw any of "The Matrix" movies....ring...ring...ring....

Yes, on the Moriarty flight he missed the runway completely and "landed" out in the scrub adjacent to the landing strip. Rookie mistake...

All in fun. We know he's not getting the million Euro OLC prize.
A few years ago someone put a flight up many times using various gliders from ASW22-2 to Grunau Baby.

There is a joke in there somewhere about the number of soaring pilots taking the blue pill...

I'm not the OLC police, but these flights are extremely odd. Taking off with an ASH-25 from Lost River Resort, even with a 260 Pawnee would be sketchy. Self launch is out of the question. (Especially when the airfield is covered with snow) Also, None of the N numbers on this fellow's stable of gliders exist. The anomalous logger fault reports further bring the flights into question. Are people logging Condor flights on OLC?

A couple of curious flights here as well. Especially the ASW-20 flight.

Anyway, maybe somebody can shed some light on these seemingly questionable flights? I love a good mystery....

Hello guys,

the OLC "police" is aware of that "flights", we are investigating, Hannes.
