Nationals


Comp Grid, with added TF3 TV coverage

Today marks the opening of the first 2-seater Nationals competition to be held at Sisteron. About 20 gliders (mainly Duo Discuses) are taking part and there are many familiar faces from Duo comps that have been held here in previous years. 

On first arriving on site this morning we couldn't help noticing that the new CFI, Serge, has instigated a wind of change which appears to have revitalised the club. The staff are freshly motivated and that clearly shows from the moment one checks in at the new-look reception, all the way to re-vamped airfield operations. Further reports will be supplied over the next few days.

Today's weather forecast was not to our liking, featuring as it did some heavy storms later in the afternoon with all the associated unpleasantness one would expect. So we waved off the competitors and enjoyed some R&R before business begins in earnest tomorrow.

(Writing this at 18:30 after some serious gardening we notice that the storms just missed the valley and it is still clearly soarable over the local hills.)


Action!
