Handicap flight confirmed!

Just received confirmation that the data from our handicap flight was acceptable, so we won't have to refly it. We won't know our handicap speed until race time, but this is the speed we're going to be trying to beat by as big a margin as possible by planning our flying time and altitudes to find the best tailwinds we can. Based on previous years, it's going to be about 143 knots, which is about 165 miles per hour.
