Lake Placid 2016

Quick update. We have an OGN tracker running; it doesn't have the range of the permanent installations at GGC, MSC, and RVSS, but it will allow you to see gliders within 10 miles or so of Lake Placid:

Here's an idea of the fall colours in Lake Placid; that's looking east to the Sentinel Range; the staging area on 34; the MSC Duo on final.

 View from the picnic table... nice
We had a bunch of flights, some just short of 300 km (almost to Potsdam NY and return - seen by the GGC tracker at 118km!  Other flights over 5 hrs.  MSC Duo, RVSS Grob, GGC Puchacz all did field checks.  Flights to 6000' ASL, and very calm.

I'm off to fly.
