Santa Cruz Flats (Day 1)

Amy and I are at the Santa Cruz Flats meet in Casa Grande Arizona. Instead of competing I'm volunteering, which means I get to eat a lot of dust helping pilots get safely into the air. Amy is also helping and easy outdid me and maybe even Curt Schilling by keeping the line moving even after getting wounded and bleeding all over here sock. (This only makes sense if you are Boston Red Sox fan.)

The weather is hot, dry, and sunny. It was breezy early this morning but the winds calmed down by launch time, so the task was changed to return here for goal.

Although the launch is in a flat dusty field, the LZ is just the opposite. We sat in the shade on cool grass as we watched pilots come into goal. Most came in with lots of altitude, but a couple came in with just enough to clear all the toys.
