Big Triangles

Yesterday, while I was fartin' around launch enjoying the smoke from the forest fires, several people were out doing big triangles. Brian Webb flew a nice one from Mystic to Tawonga Gap, up to the north end of Kiewa valley, then to Myrtleford hill, then to the Mystic LZ. Che Golus was up for 5 hours doing an 80k triangle, and other locals were doing the same.

In the picture on the right, you can see the smoke from the fires. The picture is from the NASA site which talks about the drought and El Nino.

Today a strong north wind has blown the smoke out, and base looks way above 10k feet, but a fire ban has closed Mystic. Tomorrow's weather forecast says light, and if launch is open we should see some more XC action.

Stay Tuned.
