With good weather predictions today the tasksetter set a 4.5 hour AAT of between 300 and 683km. None of this namby-pamby 2.5 hour stuff.
Little wind and regular marked thermals to 6000 ft made for a great day. I flew again with Steve Wallace and Tom Claffey. Tom and I flew and communicated well together and I see some collaboration happening over the next few weeks.
I suspect Steve and I were among the few to complete the task - in my case 566km at 124 km/hr so I am already feeling well tuned. I will have to be careful to avoid burn-out with more than 3 weeks of daily flying to go.
One of my more pleasurable days flying and it makes all the effort and expense worthwhile to have days like this.
