Today at Dubnica we had the opportunity to fly in the aerobatic box for 15 minutes each. It was a chance to orientate ourselves and to get some last minute practice.
Paul and I marked out a box on the tarmac in front of our hangar for the team to perform our walk throughs. We were pleased to find that the real box was equally well marked and very clear from the air. But we discovered that the mountainous terrain nearby meant that the horizon line was less clearly defined than we are used to, so we must remember to compensate for that in our flights.
We all flew well enough and John put in a particularly polished performance, prompting the French team coach, Coco, to stride over to give his Gallic approval.
An early night will be in order tonight. The next time we fly will be for real…!
Wish us luck!
