A lovely blue sky with light winds greeted us at the start of the
first day. It looked like a great day was in store. The new operators are both
friendly and relaxed. Before briefing we noticed cameramen and a rather
attractive lady presenter. They stayed with us through briefing to the launch
point and a chase plane continued the filming of the Nimbus club gliders. A
comprehensive coverage including an interview with our Mike Evans, (in
Spanish!) and pictures of the Lasham group and Gliders also appeared on
Aragon TV. Fame at Last!
Launching started at about midday with thermals out in the main
valley and in the lower mountains up to 7000ft. It all too easy! However cloud
continued to build, particularly to the north limiting the flights to the
valleys and the lower mountains. However flying was possible all day and only
one premature return occurred, but what do you expect if you pull off at
1200ft? High launches were not necessary though and is was possible to fly to
the west east and south in excellent thermals. Everyone expressed great
satisfaction with the days flying which ended just before 7pm. The next day is
looking equally bright and sunny with light winds
