We made it back! We flew from Mobile, AL to Indianapolis Metro today. We outran some skunky weather and shot the GPS approach into KUMP. I'm going to have lunch with my family tomorrow and head back into Columbus.
As far as how we did, we took 3rd place leg prize on the leg from Great Bend, KS to Borger, TX. Overall, we came in 20th in a field of almost 50 planes. That may sound so-so, but the second place airplane, a Cessna 172R, only beat us by seven minutes out of almost nine and a half hours of total flight time on the race. Since the course was so short, the scores were very, very close across the field. It was anyone's game.
We didn't incur any penalties, and never were in any sticky situations, so I feel very good about this race. We ran a safe, clean race and had a lot of fun!
