Jaca Week 5 Day 5


Another flying day, five out of five so far this week, high pressure conditions give a late start which allows time for lunch and a siesta. Weakish thermals on the first step allowed the group to put into practice the skills learnt on the first days. This led to some interesting flying and a scuttle home from behind the hill. As the day died one scuttle was converted to a “running out of height exercise” which was changed to an “oh dear, we have run out of height” and an outlanding 1km short of the airfield. Useful practice in derigging and rigging a K21 left us ready for dinner. Gerald will be feeling better soon.
