Good evening fellow aviators.
A good forecast preceded a good days soaring from the Park today.
A steady 10 -15 kt WNW wind was present throughout the day, but glorious sunshine persisted and the temperatures remained warm and comfortable all day.
The Cross Country Pilots were out in force, tackling a variety of tasks, and travelling as far and wide as Bridgnorth and Milton Keynes. Alastair encountered one particular thermal that averaged 11.5kts up during a 1000ft climb!
Mike J, was kept busy locally with training duties, and even tried his hand at a bit of inflight photography. Please see picture below dear aviators 😂🙂!
Good first attempt Mike 😂🙂.
The launch point took a momentary step back in time at one point this afternoon, with a trio of K6’s on line ready to launch 🙂.
32 Glider flights in total today. Plus a welcome visit from a Mendip motor glider.
Tomorrows forecast looks promising again fellow aviators 🙂👍.
Kind regards.
Damien.
