Thursday 16.6.2011 – it’s a flying day – finally!

Finally it was a flying day! Weather looked good already in the morning, even there were quite big clouds on the sky already. Kristian told in the briefing that there is a risk that clouds might overdevelop, and that clouds might spread out today. Originally the task was 3 hour AAT, but one turnpoint was taken away and the time was shortened into 2 hours. That would mean devaluation on results, as the task time is so short.

Anyway I like to think that most important thing was that it was finally a flying day, I think everybody needed it after what happened on Sunday. As the task time was so short, and I was working, I went back to the airfield too late and didn’t get any finishing pictures.

Pilots told that the weather during task had been surprisingly good, clouds did spread out, but they said that still they had flown really long distances without turning at all. There are familiar names on top of the results, but there are only few point differences.

Friday will be my last day on this competition, as main air show of the year starts on Saturday morning in Turku.
