Watering the Duo. |
Yesterday's poor weather gave way to excellent soaring with cloudbase starting at 8000 ft. and gradually improving in places to 12,500 ft. with strong thermals, although some areas remained blue to 7500 ft. The ASH and the Duo flew all day and explored some fantastic convergence lines, some over 150 km. long. As a bonus, DS borrowed Brian Spreckley's ASW19, taking off at 6 p.m., but was disappointed to reach only 11,500 ft and had to land at 8.30 due to lack of night flying instruments. |
