#usteampoland2024 A day behind, but enjoy the report from Team USA in Poland, from Task 6 yesterday, 7/20, from Capt. Peter Deane & see USSoaringTeams FB page for report from David McMaster
Task 6 (Contest Day 7) 7/20
Today dawned with the promise of a good thermal and cumulus forecast but with the specter of high and mid-level cloud cover during the day. Aggressive AST tasks of 506km (Club) and 606km (Standard) were set. As the day wore on and the cirrus got thicker and thicker and the sky got darker and darker and the pilots were very busy just trying to stay airborne after the final turn – in the end all our club class pilots landed out (safely) and relatively close to home after 6 hrs. in the cockpit. Tom Greenhill made it round the 604km Standard class task but not without spending 40 minutes climbing in the last very weak convection of the day to squeak home. Only the fastest Club class gaggle made it around before the end of convection. Thomas moved up to 4th place in Standard Class today and within shouting distance of top 3. Today’s pilot report comes from David McMaster.
