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.
regards to all
Sven
