Flight 196

[Bill Hunter <dixiewillie at skyviewmail dot com>]

Hi folks

I thought you might find this interesting.

I recently received a map which tracks the flight of Condor 196 over 
eight days in March. It began March 2, 2004 at the release point on the 
Vermilion Cliffs. Over the next 3 days it was tracked going down the 
Colorado River and the Grand Canyon. Between March 5 and 6, 2004 it 
tracked north to the Hurricane Release Spot (on the Arizona Strip) then 
back to the Colorado River and Lake Mead at the junction of Arizona and 
Nevada, then up several miles north of Lake Mead, on the border. It was 
about opposite Overton, NV.

It then proceeded northeast to the border of Utah and Arizona, near St. 
George on March 7, 2004. Then it flew north of Zion Park, south of 
Cedar City on March 8/9 and then back to the Vermilion Cliffs.

The point being, they do wander far and wide, and yes, you could spot 
one over Leeds, or St. George, or Lytle, or Zion, so keep your eyes 
open.
