Jaca - Week 3 - Day 3

Wednesday morning and the team got 775 and 776 ready before briefing - the snow had stopped! Ayala, John Simonds, Mike Rubin and Richard decided the conditions were too good to miss and had a snowball fight. After briefing we launched immediately. Mike Truelove and John Simmonds launched first, closely followed by Mike Rubin and Bob Johnson. In flights of about 90 minutes, both found wave to 13,000 feet. next John Bareford joined John Simmonds and Richard joined Bob. Aerotows to about 5,000 feet led to exciting flying in every kind of lift, but to no more than around 6,000 feet. Ayala flew with Bob next, doing much the same. Richard snuck a second flight, this time with John, so John could exact revenge for a snowball in the face by rock polishing and very tight turns. Everyone looking forward to Thursday and forecast high thermals.
