Last couple of days at the comp

The last couple of days of the comp were some of the best! There were some rain showers about, but it was quite possible to avoid them. On Friday we did an AAT to Wamboyne Airfield, Baan Baa and Manilla silo and back. This was my fastest day at about 110 km/hr.

On Saturday we had a very similar AAT task from Spring Ridge to Narrabri and Manilla Silo. Not quite as good as the day before - the thermals were harder to work, but still an enjoyable flight.

On Sunday the conditions were again very good, but most people were too tired to fly again. As my job is to fly every day, I suppose I am conditioned for doing lots of gliding. Anyway I took a launch and completed a 500 km task. Probably about my second one.

On Monday and Tuesday it was back to the grindstone with yet more flying. What more could you ask for?
