The countdown

We are now in the last stage before the games begin, all that remains is for our team captain, Ulf, to give us instructions on the parade at the opening ceremony in three hours time. I have been remiss in making regulars postings and cannot make any promises for the next two weeks (but will try). It is very hot and the rest day is very welcome. I have flown on all days but one and I hope the hours time will stand me in good stead. The guys fly very well and it is a great privilege to share the air with all of them. There is an air of quiet expectancy at the airfield - all but one of the formalities have been completed. What follows is 12 days of hard flying. I miss my family very much, but Ulf is looking after me.

Big storm with hail

everyone is arriving!!! Yesterday we had a big storm on the airfield. Further south there was hail damage. The flying was very nice and i had a nice long run to the south, with long glides ;-)

Today was also fun, though i struggled to get away, but once going it was great. Storms on Velino stopped me on the way south and on i ran far north and to the east - VERY NICE. I was called back at 5h30 with another storm approaching the airfield from the south. A quick landing and derigg followed.

Another great days flying in Rieti ;-)

Last nite Art Grant came for supper and just up the road we have Darius L and his team mate as neighbours.

All for now
Regards
Sven
