5 July (the last comp day!) from the crew dude, part 1

Hi all!

Well, it's all come together for Eric!

Today's weather is much like yesterday's; some cirrus around at the moment but that should disappear.  Wonder what task will be on the cards for today?

Briefing 1000, and we'll find out what's in store…

Stay tuned again!

Update 1000 - task for Eric is 335 km racing. First launch 1130.

Update 1120 - first launch 1145.

Update 1150 - they're away!! And at least 5 of the first 9 (there are 9 tugs) are in one thermal just west of the airfield. Looks like quite a few members of the public out here today too.

Cheers!

  1. Crew dude, you deserve a medal for all you've done for Eric (and this time you did have to put some real elbow grease into it) and we at home appreciate your blogging here. A heartfelt Thank You!
    I hope being part of the Worlds was a great experience for you too, despite the unfavourable weather. Enjoy what is left of the time in Finland and have a good and safe trip back home.
