28-Jun-2003		Peter Kelly, Jim Herd	3.0	DG800B PK, PW	Minden	N/A	Team Flight -  Unsuccesfull attempt*.  The Egg was not at Avenal!
		*Note: Based on a tentative rule change, a glider flight of such a distance would allow the Egg to be relocated without the need for a glider flight back the departure airport.
		Pilots mistakenly thought The Egg was at Avenal.  Dead glide from west of Mammoth at 17,500 ft, made to Avenal OK, pilots used motor gliders to return home, without Egg.
15-Dec-2003		Note: Trophy Rules were officially revised in December 2003 by the PASCO Board of Directors. A minimum of 100 k must be flown to capture the Egg.
		If inbound flight, to the last home of the Egg is successful, the egg should be sent to the new home. No longer necessary to fly it home.
25-Apr-2004		Bill Gawthrop	5.2	ASH 26E  F8	Avenal	Hollister
27-Apr-2004		Marty Eiler , Chuck Griswold	4.3	ASW 27  11W	Cal City	Avenal *	Team Flight- 1300 ft tow, Tahachapi Vly, death dive from Bear Mtn into
							San Joaquin Vly, low pt Buena Vista 3100  msl, arrive for CCSC contest
		* Note: The new rule about only having to fly in to capture The Egg was widely discussed, and story appeared in PASCO WestWind in May, 2004, a few weeks too late to
		avert an entertaining diversion for The Egg- outside of Region 11.  Cal City is not a part of Region 11, but they heard that if a pilot flew a glider into Avenal, they could capture
		the Egg. Since Marty and Chuck were coming to Avenal for the contest, they flew into Avenal from Cal City and "someone" told them where the Egg
		was "hidden" and off it went to Cal City.  It is reported that the "main" Avenal pilots were quite surprised that The Egg had been taken.
		The Rules were published in The West Wind a few weeks later, discussion followed and all seemed to agree that The Egg officially belonged at Avenal.
9-Jun-2004		Gary Kemp	5.3	Nimbus-2 NK	Williams	Avenal	Crossed Delta low, good conditions, flew past Avenal 30 mi, (for
							a total filght distance of 300 miles),  return null *
		*Note: Flight made in hopes that The Egg would be shipped from Cal City to Williams.  This was only the second glider flight that had ever been made from Williams to Avenal.
18-Jun-2004		Peter Neuman	4.0	HPH-304	Bishop	Cal City/Avenal	I returned the PASCO Egg to it's lawful domicile ( Region 11).
		Note: Peter Neuman reported that he flew from Bishop to CalCity without knowledge of the Egg, but it was an excellent opportunity for a PASCO member to return the
		Egg to Region 11.  While The Egg was at Cal City, Cindy Brickner graciously transcribed the log book into this data file version that you are now reading.

17-Apr-2007		Morteza Ansari		ASW-20	Byron	Williams	A renegade group of pilots flew up from Byron and captured the beloved
		Ramy Yanetz		LS-4			PASCO Egg. A flight of three single seat gliders made the trip from Byron
		Shannon Madsen		Grob 102			to Williams on 4/17/07. ASW20 "EP", piloted by Morteza Ansari, landed
							at Williams, was presented with the Egg, and after a short tow, flew back
							to Byron with the other two gliders.  LS4 "TG", piloted by Ramy Yanetz
							and Shannon Madsen in his GROB102-ASTIR CS "SS" remained airborne
							overhead WSC while the Egg was captured.  Both Morteza and Shannon
							are relatively new XC pilots, having started flying XC only last year.
							Shannon turned Williams for a declared diamond goal flight and Ramy
							turned Willows and Williams for a 535 km flat triangle distance ( the first
							500km from Byron AFAIK).
22-Apr-2007		Jack Harkin	3.2	ASW-27	Williams	Byron	Neither rain, sleet nor snow kept the egg in Byron. It is indeed a long
