Flying before the storm


Various met sources are warning of impending heavy rain and storm force winds tomorrow, so we made the most of the conditions and flew today. Take a look at www.metcheck.com's synopsis for tomorrow!
Today, winds remained mainly SW'ly between 10-20kts with some good thermals and considerable streeting. One of the K-13's made use of this with a quick o/r as far as Benson as part of a training flight. Pilots of the Junior enjoyed searching out the thermals to ensure flights of over an hour at a time. Meanwhile one of the K-21s was put to good use as people practiced aerobatic skills for the forthcoming 'Bit Late Easter Egg Cup" aerobatic comp. in a few weeks.
