  • Landed Out!

    From Dan Marotta@21:1/5 to All on Sun Jun 11 12:07:08 2023
    No, not me, but my friend, Miguel, who landed in the median of
    Interstate Highway 25 a few miles west of Pecos, NM. I terminated my
    flight early for the adventure of the retrieve (and the great after
    adventure dinner).

    Here's a link: https://www.onlinecontest.org/olc-3.0/gliding/flightinfo.html?dsId=9473881#map=

    Take a look at the second picture, one of the better land out shots in
    recent memory.

    Miguel is my new hero, flying a LOWLY 27 and stretching the envelope. Hey Miguel I owe you a cold brew. OBTP

    Very nice land out! Good decision making and good spot.

    Yes, he told me that he had been out on a land out reconnaissance
    mission a couple of years ago and had walked that very location.
