Day 5 task - Weak Looking - Goal update

105 miles downwind, some high overcast from the hurricane, could be iffy. Some of the pilots are specked out, 10 or so relights. Dustin came back to take a later tow and hopefully fly over everyone's head, or that is his plan. Goal update - 7 made it, unbelievable. Glen Volk wins the day.

Pilot hurt in accident

Tim from Colorado was practicing approaches and landings with thetug, after the launch window, and had an accident. He is in the hospital and expected to make a full recovery. Possible broken wrist, rib and punctured lung. Details unfolding. Tim is wonderful guy and we are all saddened and wish him a quick recovery.
