First I'm wondering how many hot dogs I can eat!

Then I wondering whether to use a Nooner or a Morphine!!!!

It sounds like awesome fun. Hats off to you again, Jack!

Thanks for clarifying.

I thought there was going to be some glider flying at the TEMAC BBQ challenge.

What a fun filled afternoon! The glider challenge was great fun; I haven't laughed so much in ages.

Thanks again to Jack for another spectacular event. And thanks to everyone who helped BBQ, mark the field, sort out the pylons and of course, tidy up.

Hope everyone enjoyed it.

Great day (I left mid-afternoon for my daughter's birthday party).

It was a lot of fun.

I successfully maidened a new jet, raced my Morphine in the Piker races (I didn't fly so well, but I did finish the race and I did get to go home with a plane in perfect condition), and participated in the glider challenge.

It was really hot, but it was fun. And there were a lot of people there too!

Great fun. Thanks to @Papa for organizing yet another fun day at TEMAC.


In spite of super tricky winds (Murphy's Law when you designate a day "glider challenge") I managed to leave the field with all of my planes intact after a day of dicey landings.

   Yeah it was a fun day, shame the wind was strong from the West and thermals virtually non-existent, but hanging with great friends and sharing a laugh was the best!
