A beautiful autumn day for the last day of the squad week. Cumulus 7000' to 8000', 7/8 knots and a light north east wind for the 300 klm plus task. Narromine, Tichbourne, Tullamore, Nyngan, Narromine.
The pilots were able to enjoy the sky above 5000' today after being restricted to that height yesterday with an imaginary airspace restriction over the whole task area. Very fustrating when the best lift of the day was 5000' to 8000'.
The team building was in full swing with captains and crews managing start times, start gates, radio procedures and all the task associated with effective management of a competition team.
Our club provided tows courtesy of Arnie Hartley and Paul Thompson, Meals courtesy of Beryl Hartley and Jens Hertfurt and a welcome and friendly atmosphere courtesy of all the club members who turned up at some time during the week to meet the visitors and help out in the clubhouse.
