Thursday 28.4.2011 – Results improving

This day was a repetition of Wednesday: cirrus on the sky, briefing at 10 and A and B tasks for each class, racing and AAT versions of the same task. Weather started to improve before towings and launches started at 12.00. Today pilots flew normal racing task just above 250 km. On some parts of the task area weather was really good and on some parts it was raining or there weren’t any thermals. Unfortunately GN landed out and DD used engine. But GF and 777 came home and got positions 2 and 3 on daily results, great job!

Today’s pictures are team photos and I tried to have good photos of the Cmelak’s, as some of those are taxiing really close to the gliders during the launches. It looks great but I think they come a bit too close to the gliders’ noses, and that’s unnecessary as closer the tow plane comes, more those boys have to run to get the other end of the rope…

In the evening we had dinner with German pilots of V8, Christof Geissler and Uli Gmelin. I will meet them again in August at JWGC2011 in Musbach.
