The whole Australian Team is currently flying, together for the first time.
Mike and Allan both had scenarios on the grid. Allan's borrowed PDA will talk to him in Simulator mode, but when he selected WinPilot it asked for a password. So frantic calls to Germany, we are waiting for a reply...
Mike had a loose wire that was quickly reattached with tape.
Pete has just called 4kts to 2000m, which matches the forecast.
The wind though is very strong (from the North) with one forecast predicting 40kts at 3000'.
However because of the strong wind we do have lovely looking streets of cloud to the North in the direction of the task.
All of the pilots are flying with Spot Trackers and there is going to be a link to each of them on the Team Dingo website.
Pete's Spot link is at;

There are also some photos on the website in Gallery.

Oz newspaper headline today: "PETER TEMPLE WINS" (literary award). Sounds like an omen to me!
