The outdoor temperatures reached the mid-80s for the first time on the fourth day of the AMA Indoor Nats, July 4. The contestants enjoyed more buoyant air than they had previously experienced.

So, you want to go to the AMA/League of Silent Flight 2024 RC Soaring Nats? “Glider Camp” is absolutely one of the most fun and rewarding experiences that any sailplane pilot could ask for. You get to fly everything!

On the third day of the 2024 Indoor AMA Nats, the glider and lightweight duration events concluded. Within the article are the flight times for each respective event.

The 101st iteration of the AMA Nats kicks off on Monday, July 1, 2024, at the Kibbie Dome in Moscow, Idaho. The Kibbie Dome, which is situated atop one of the gently rolling hills of the Palouse, is perhaps the most prominent landmark on the University of Idaho’s campus.

Well, this is it. Another Nats is in the books—a special one, considering it’s the 100th anniversary of the first Nats. Everyone had a great time, and I look forward to seeing everyone continue to improve with their flying in the future.

Wednesday morning, we started an hour later than normal. By the time we started, the temperature was a comfortable mid-70s, and the wind was slightly greater coming from the southeast.

Tuesday morning was another cool and calm day. Surprisingly, the wind held off until well into the afternoon. This resulted in everyone performing better in their rounds.

The 2023 IMAC Nats was a complete success on many fronts. First, this was the largest IMAC Nats we have seen in years.
