Follow up to this. I took a look at the mesh on Saturday and there are some signs that they are trying to get in. On the hangar packing day I am going to add a bit of strapping to ensure that they cannot get in. If anyone wants to help show up with some dirty clothes and a drill with an red Robertso...

I’ll be there with a plus one.

Since I am not going to fly any scoring flights prior to the shutdown on the 22nd here is my 2024 OLC points.

This was setup earlier this spring but I decided not to share it until the board was happy to allow the camera to stay active. https://cloud.yorksoaring.com/ A few of our aircraft have FLARM units and these signals can be picked up and fed to various mapping and logging services.
