Thanks for sharing. On my screen the end of his trace precedes his contest ID "bubble". Why is that; and also why are there two "K" contest ID's for him set a few miles apart?

He has two trackers; one is a cell phone based that updates regularly and provides altitude and the second is a SPOT unit

The point at the end of the ID bubbles is the last received fix. Two loggers for K, one is a Spot (no altitude), the other is a smartphone app I believe.

Already near Waco (~650km). In a Standard Cirrus? Russian hackers at work?
Looks like he's flying directly with the NNW-SSE aligned cloudstreets that appear on satellite to run all the way to Houston. (There are none here in San Antonio just west of the track).Hope they have crews.

Well, it appears that Tony (Std Cirrus?) and Mitch Hudson (in his Discus) landed a few minutes ago at Fayette Regional airport just west of LaGrange, TX. Glideport Aero indicated they did over 900KM....Truly Outstanding flights! I just hope they have crews!!! ;-)

Awesome flight! Mitch and I flew the last 150 miles side by side. Made it to goal of Gibbings and then floated to LaGrange. More later!

Congratulations! It was quite exciting to watch your progress on the SPOT tracking site. And to think that we have not even started the soaring season at my place in Michigan due to the cold and rainy spring...

Here's the current OLC Link. This is the file from IGCDroid on my phone so the altitude is goofy. http://www.onlinecontest.org/olc-2.0/gliding/flightinfo.html?flightId=-691876141
It rained over an inch at the glider club and for the first 100 miles of the files the night before. We were a little worried about that of course but as soon as the cu popped we were off and climbing with no trouble.
Once out of the rain area we had trouble! I got down to 1100 AGL but hooked a 4 knot climbs which kept me.moving. I was running out ahead of Mitch and Mike. They flew their Discii dry while I watered up my Cirrus in an attempt for us to stay together.
Once we crossed the red River the soaring got better. The clouds were more honest, we were bumping well, and it was pretty easy going to our declared turnpoint at Weatherford.
At that point Mike peeled off to do his turnpoints for his 750km flight. He had to work Friday morning so cut it short to land at home.
Mitch and I joined up near Lake Whitney and flew the rest of the way side by side. This was perfect timing as the day was starting to die. Cu were thinning while we tried to figure out how to get to our declared goal at Giddings. We got there without much trouble. Then Mitch searched and found us a weak climb coming off town. This got us high enough to make LaGrange!
John and KC decided to get a head start and left Wichita with my trailer at 8:30 am. Confidence! They were at the airport in Giddings when I flew over.
It was so much fun to have friends along for one of these dashes. Still need just a little better day (or glider) to make 1000km and the ultimate goal of the Gulf of Mexico!

Studly!!! Looks' like you're getting purty good at picking straight-out goals
in Texas! Funny thing...both days during your last two vulgar downwind dashes,
the idle thought, "I wonder if Tony's 'out there' today?" came unbidden to
mind as I was enjoying the post-frontal screaming southbound winds ripping
through eastern Colorado.

GOES East showing cloud streeting from mid-Kansas to mid-Texas (flight start-to-finish) late afternoon.
I'm wondering how the pilots compensated the crew for their ~20 hour round-trip retrieve?

Due to crew unrest, we've upgraded from Whataburger to Braums. As is my tradition they also get ice cream.

who have just darn good sailplanes of previous generation.
You know, the first time I went to a Whataburger was in the '60's in
Odessa, during the later heydays of long-range Texas soaring. Maybe
sticking with Whataburger is a good omen...RB

Tony,
I finally got around to creating GOES 1km animation of your track on the downwind May 4, 2017 flight... and here it is in two parts.. a northern half:

and a southern half:

John Bird's Satellite look looks great for this latest flight, Sep 2017. I'm using Unidata's IDV program, GPSBabel to convert igc file to something compatible. I hope to created a track that will move with the satellite time. It just requires more study and work.
