Central Texas Region 10 - Day 6 Report
Pilots were ready to fly. The operations went smoothly and we only had 3 landouts. The general consensus was that this was a challenging contest because of the weak weather conditions. In a normal Texas summer day, the Contest Director would have been able to call 4 hour tasks with larger distances. The weather according to all the pilots made this a more challenging contest and even though the CD called shorter distances – the pilots felt challenged because all the pilots had to scratch to keep from landing out. Gonzalo Echeverry, EE, won SSA Region 10 Sports Class. Also, Dick Mockler, BL, won the SSA Region 10 FAI class.
Today’s pictures which include the awards banquet with the winners of FAI and Sports can be found here: Day 6 Pictures
