Join us on a Norway-to-Greece Condor XC Safari starting Fri Mar 25, 9p ET

TeamXC just finished a Condor safari from Tipella, Canada to the farthest we could go south in Baja California Mexico.

On Friday we'll start in Fagerhaug Norway and each Friday go generally south, to probably the southern end of Greece. This will take months.
Safari here means that each task’s southern-most airport becomes the start airport for the next task.

We fly the safari Fridays 9p ET on the "TeamXC Group" server which appears on public servers about 25 minutes before flight time. The best server list (IMO) is virtualsoaring.eu/serverlist because it’s easy to read and can be sorted by name, but you’ll also find us at www.condorsoaring.com/serverlist/ . We hope you’ll get your headset on and talk with us on Discord at https://discord.gg/rFRC2fC in the lobby. We also fly racing tasks on Mondays 9 ET on the server "TeamXC Race"

If there is demand, we can also schedule the flights on the server at times that are good for Europeans or others.

Anyone can join us for any number of days, and jump in and out of the safari. There is no registration, but if you want email updates, please request to join groups.google.com/g/flyteamxc.

We score each day’s flight on skylinescondor.com for fun, and to overlay/animate everyone’s tracks, but don’t keep any running scoreboard (join group “TeamXC” on skylinescondor so your track will show with the others). The scoring is OLC+, which is based on distance and triangle, not speed. So we usually specify only two points for a day’s task...you decide how to make a triangle if you can. Most pilots fly from 1.5 to 3 hours a night. There is no real join time deadline, so you can come late (we do this by not using Condor scoring and never trigger or use the gates). If you can’t fly with the group, we publish the task in advance so you can also fly the task early or late and post it to skylinescondor.
