Pete, Alan and Tobi all seemed to have fun yesterday playing with the storm. Although even Pete said that he was a little uncomfortable flying into the dark sky ahead particularly at the first turn. They all had reports of heavy rain and hail, bolts of lightening, and plagues of locusts……
A lot of gliders returned at the around the same time, and under time, as the storm built but with long landings and good piloting it was not a problem.
The results seemed to appear a little more quickly on the Soaring Spot website than the official site.
Incidently when I paid for Pete’s training flights the cost was 160Euros for 13 aerotows. Just a bit cheaper than Italy
The forecast for today is similar to yesterday, and we have some serious vertical development in the task area. They have set an ambitious 401km for Standard Class, and 3.5 hours for Club Class. The Club Class guys have already started.
A few chores to do today, more later…
