Tony Condon Downwind Dash
Tony Condon is on a downwind dash from Wellington, KS. Last I heard, goal was somewhere in Texas. Cloud base should be pushing 7000 AGL, and tailwinds in excess of 30 knots. B/S ratio forecast is pretty low, but I have flown on similar sorts of days and found the lift to be very good. Will see how it turns out for him!
Feel free to spend the rest of your afternoon watching his progress instead of working. http://share.findmespot.com/shared/f...08EyO4mMDp hc Steve Leonard Stuck in the office...

Very nice! By the trajectory, he could make Arkansas!

Does anyone know if he'll go for further than TX? Minden, LA would be cool...

Goal had been San Augustine, Texas. Lots of pine trees between Paris and San Augustine. If he gets to San Augustine, that will be about 440 miles and a new Distance to a Goal record (taking my 423 mile record).

Through the window, a very nice looking afternoon.
Most of the people I work with were complaining about our landings in Dallas (B737) and Tulsa (B757) today. Looks and felt to me like Tony chose a great day to fly. He could make San Augustine. Jim

These are the kinds of days we watch for. And as usual, they happen during the week. Steve

As of 5:01 CDT he has covered 348 miles at average speed of 80.0 mph. Is very close to Longview Texas.
