Corowa weather, a beautiful day with cu’s.

Just published my Sunday blog with the expectation of more 1000 km. flights in Corowa  and yes when I had an extra look at it and I noticed it all  happened  …..my enthusiasm runs away with me and I have to add that I really find the 1000 km FAI triangle for Lubor in the ASG 29 E 18m a “stunner”!
As well as the flight from Pepe, a great FAI 1000 in the ASH 31
Also great flights from Jozef from Prievidza [Discus 2T] and Eric { LS 8T}  and Jos from Holland.[ASH 31]  all a 1000 km. AND… a nice one [triangle] from Lubik in the Duo Discus. The Slovaks are having great fun!

Jozef flying his first 1000 km. for this season and here on this picture ,  after winning last week the prize donated by the motel he stays in with the Slovak team, the Arcadia, where owners Anne and Peter have  this season made a trophy for their guests, and the daily winner on the OLC, will get the trophy in the evening.

A few “just not” flights  as well , the most impressive by Alojz Maros also from Prievidza who flew 999 km in an 18 m. discus.[937 km FAI]

I presume the beer and wine tastes extra good in Corowa tonight. So it should. Congratulations to all pilots not only those who flew a 1000 but also all who really enjoyed a great day of soaring!

Benalla and Tocumwal  both enjoyed great weather as well. Benalla with flights up to 714 in a 17 m. Kestrel [triangle with added kilometers] and a 757 km.[ triangle] in a Speed Astir and 878 km.[ also a triangle Hay-Temora]  in an ASH 26E. In Tocumwal Michael flew in the ASW 15 from Dundee and flew 460km.  after a late start! 27 Flights in this area over 500 km. A fabulous day with great soaring weather after the cold interval last week!

Slowly the season goes to an end in all overseas areas, slowly days are getting shorter, but it’s not over yet. Let’s wait and see! Cheers Ritz
