A short compilation of pictures and in-flight video from the recent Region 8 soaring contest held at Ephrata, WA. I managed (by God’s grace) to make it home every day, even if I finished last almost every day. The weather was challenging and the other contestants were good pilots. My comfort zone has been “well-stretched”. 🙂

John, Your video made me feel so homesick. Since 1999 through 2022 I participated in the R-8 comp. Many great memories. I am glad you flew the contest. My first one was the best soaring education I ever received. My experience each year added to the previous one and eventually I got fairly good at it. Not on the winners circle much but there were times I did not make so many mistakes and did come in second and third. Had I been able to continue soaring I might have finished first.

Thanks for the encouragement! I'm hoping to participate in many more future R8 events. I agree that it is one of the best soaring educational events you can attend. I learned SO much!

Thanks, John, the gliding is, of course, magnificent. I'm so glad that you're taking that Phoebe's to places it might never have gone were it not for your efforts.
