where weather is good, flying is fun and people are cool

We just came back from the first competition this season. It was only a 1 week comp, we managed to fly 6 days in a row and experienced all sorts of weather. First day in the blue, then 3 days of nice Cu's and showers and strong winds the last 2 days.
We are back in Horsham with the gliders but have to go back to Ararat tonight and bring the caravan so there are only some pics today:

Swaantje didn't fly but came to visit for couple of days

Zig is well known as the "talker". For some reason though people are still listening to him ...

"I'm not 100% happy with your results today guys..."

time to get some rest before the next challenging day

HFC

hard to decide which one of them is more full of it ;-)

Bernie brought a car full of models and provided some after flying activities:

he looks like he wants to go back

winch launch

yes, he definitely wants to go back
