To All US Nationals Pilots, 

There will be no evening competition flights at the 2023 US National Hot Air Balloon Championship. 

Dinner at Maude Cobb will be served tonight at 5:00 pm instead of 5:30 pm. All pilots/crews are invited to attend the dinner even if you are not scheduled to glow. Make sure you have your parking passes and credentials.  

The glow briefing is scheduled for 7:00 pm tonight. 

The next competition briefing will be tomorrow morning at 5:45 am. 

For any pilot that is affected by the wide spread power outage, staff will provide you a secure location to charge electronics at Maude Cobb overnight. If you want to take advantage of this offer, bring your devices and power cords/strips to the evening briefing tonight.  

Please see the attached gpx file for the new Yellow PZ

The Map and PZ files show a PZ titled "Bruce Bridges" located at approximately 2783/9934.

This is a YELLOW PZ, and will be referred to as "PZ2799 Yellow".  A screen shot is attached.
