Though our early start was more challenging, we fared far better than the poor comp pilots who were forced to take off later, losing half the field to the landing zone directly below launch.
Eventually the flats turned on and we chased puffy clouds around the sky. 
We were in the air for 4 hours today, crossing the flats, going South a bit and then back North towards 'home'.
Most made it to the final stretch back North but only 5 of the 13 in the gaggle at Salazar made the last climb to base allowing 4 to make it to the soccer field goal (Rob, Marite, John Blake and myself) while Farmer opted to chase the task to goal and visit with Jamie and Isabella before they have to fly home.
The flats were so much fun and the Eagle team really stayed together well and are flying better each day. Good times!
