Light shower just passed by, but it could not influence the good atmosphere here. Many pilots and crew memebers are busy making up their gliders after enjoyable flights. We assume that as the most of them are smiling and having a good time while discussing about the flight. No doubt, there is more to talk about than it was yesterday.

Sky is getting more and more cloudy with some shovers around. Dying Cu clouds are spreading into large patches of shade. 

Gliders are already coming home.

The situation at the airport is calm, people are getting some rest. Don´t forget to chceck the webcam and great pictures from Elfo in the gallery.

Briefing news

The briefing is over. We went through the yesterdays operations and remarks, Ivan (oue Metman) described the difficulties we may expect with regard to weather today. The decision is to send pilots for speed tasks via assigned areas similar to yesterday, with minimum task time 2 hours. The first launch is expected at 11:30, a bit earlier than yesterday, but we expect thermals to be strong enough already by then. More later...
