The Bunner down under

Post by hang_pilot »

Larry is in Oz competing in the Forbes Flatlands meet. I don't know how he feels about his results, but he's made goal two out of four tasks and I think that's pretty cool. Results are here http://www.moyes.com.au/Forbes2010/Results/Results.aspx

If you're reading this, Bun, best of luck with the rest of the meet!

Painful pics of carnage to gliders and pilot caused by the passage of a gust front through a goal field are on Jamie Shelden's blog http://www.naughtylawyertravels.blogspot.com

Hey all, what a fantastic trip so far. I flew 10 days in a row (including a practice day) in Forbes, NSW Australia. It's somewhat like Big Spring yet really different for those that have flown there. If you are interested I will writeup the day by day Bun version of the trip. It may be a little redundant to the Oz Report. In summary, we flew big miles every day like between 70 and 120 and I ended up with just over 41 hours. Sue and I are now at the Australian Country Music Festival in Tamworth for a few days then on to the Hunter Valley for some wine tasting then to the beach and finally Sydney. We'll be back in Pa around January 24th just as the weather warms up for some awesome winter flying!!!!

Hey, this is the land of one stop shopping. I say copy and paste directly from the Oz report for us; I for one never go there 'cause I only care about the exploits of people I know (same reason I don't watch pro sports).
