1 June, from the crew dude, part 3

Hi all!

Eric and Adam have started, and the weather can only improve.  Should be a good day.

Apparently thermals can continue for a long while if the air's cold, even until 2100.  Fortunately today's only a 3-hour task!

Tugs seem to be a Rallye 235, Pik-23 and three Pawnees, plenty to launch 30 or so gliders.

Here are some pictures:

Briefing.

The grid.  11 gliders in Club class, and around 20-25 in the other class.

Wing-runners hard at it!

Cheers! Don't go away...
