Good Morning!
What a wonderful feeling to wake up into the sunny morning with the nearly clear sky. The weather prediction for today seems to be quite promising. Unfortunatelly, looking at the satellite pictures this area is surrounded by the clouds from all sides. Today, grid is for runway 33. Briefing is at 10 o´clock, as usual.
