Too busy!

Whoa! Too much going on! Up at 0330 and in bed at 2300 with barely time to stop in between. Apologies for the lack of updates; stuck in an office!

Yesterday afternoon the conditions for flying were OK so the flexwings flew the economy task with no reported dramas. That came later in the team briefing when one team expressed their dissatisfaction with the task setting and another team referred to a protest they had made (and lost), claiming those around them were 'killing' the sport. You can imagine the atmosphere. 

Fortunately the frustrations on show dissipated and today's (Thursday) tasks was briefed. Two navigation tasks back to back along known and unknown tracks, a test of navigational ability coupled with flying to a declared speed. Then a precision landing to finish. The wind is being kind; probably 10kt and well within the limits of the people flying this week. At last - all crews out and in the air, scoring some points!

The photos are of the building I am stuck in. I must try harder to get out more!
