The weather finally looks like it's going to play nice today - the radar
is clear, and so are the skies above the AMA Flying Site. Not too warm
today, though, with the highs expected in the mid-60s and only a 20%
chance of rain. Winds are now out of the west at 10-15, and the winches
were re-strung yesterday to point out towards the campground/powerlines.
Yesterday saw some amazing performances by any number of Masters, though
one in particular stayed true to his reputation as being a guy who can
thermal in from WAY out - Tom Kiesling is in 10th place -- with a ZERO.
Jim Thomas and Joe Wurts are also up in the standings with a zero and an
"11", respectively. With weather like we've had the last few days, no
one has stayed perfect, and there are 500, 600 and 700 scores
penetrating even the top 10. The leaderboard has been shaken up a
number of times, and with the money on the line as it is, no one is
being counted out.
Speaking of the "top 10"... rumor has it that 2-time F3J Worlds Champ
David Hobby is in town -- though as of late last night there was only
speculation among some of the OVSS brass enjoying Joe Dirr's awesome
food fare.
One more round of qualifying this AM, and I expect we'll be seeing some
long flights today, given the weather. Impound is open and I'm up in
round 10, group A! Figuring that I'll have plenty of time to kick back
and take some photos, I should have more later....
