Good In Florida

Post by lbunner »

I'm at Quest for one more day then off to Chicago. Flew the first 4 days and managed ~15 1/2 hrs and 275 miles. Two days ago, I flew up to Williston and back south to Dunellon for a 98 miler. Yesterday, the conditions looked mediocre but we (Mitch, Greg D) pushed out late and holy (for Paul) crap Mitch and I made it around with Greg going down 3 miles short. I landed at 7 pm. My shoulder is tender but holding up well. See you all sometime in April.

Sweet!!! 15.5 hours in 4 days :shock: !!!!!! That is awesome! Save some of those good conditions for me please :).....I'm heading down to Florida Ridge for the Team Challenge, arriving on the April 6th.

Way to go Bun!,

Glad to hear your shoulder is holding up well, especially after all those hours and miles. When are you getting back to Florida for the Rob Kells? Hope to catch up with you down there.

Ended the trip with a 3 1/2 hour flight and 60 mile triangle. Conditions were again very good with solid climbs at 600fpm to 6000+. Made the circuit to Wallaby, Fantasy of Flight and back to Quest. Good luck Jon at the Team Challenge, I'm sure you are going to get a ton of air time.

I am happy to hear that you are flying again and having such a great time. I'm looking forward to flying with you when you make it back to this neck of the woods.
