Fisher Road: Tuesday

Five pilots, 10 flights, all in the three to seven minute range. I think someone may have gotten above launch.

One flight for me, three for pg pilot Mark M, two for Steve K, Pete L, and Rick N. Three landings in the tertiary.

Still a beautiful day.

Cirrus, wet ground, and cloud shadow seem to be the consensus on what happened to the nuclear part of the soarcast.
