Air Combat Group

Falcon and I in final approach after a nice tour into the Inn-Valley

Image won't load for me on my mobile. But yes great flight. Vario being stuck at max indication but tone still pitching up

How about a preplanned 100km triangle next?

Sounds good. I will as well look up what kind of races are organized and when. Maybe we could join in as a team. I'll investigate about this a bit further.

I edited the video yesterday, but stupid Sony Studio crashes my computer every time I try to render it.

I have to say I'm impressed with the winds in Condor. The places where we had rising and sinking airmass made complete sense and were as we would expect in real life. Creeping along the ridge just above treetops with only minor rise made my day. Then the big sink on the northern side of the ridge and finally the relieve on the southward facing slope.

Task for today: 100km flight - 50km from Königsdorf to Brannenburg and back again.


Finally some good use for my old maps


In line for aerotow


Thaine above the alps


And back home on (little high) downwind

Task for today: just above 200km starting at Königsdorf and turning at Brannenburg, Kufstein and Innsbruck before heading back (big box clockwise)


Approaching first turning point. Weather ahead looks nice.


Entering alpine area shortly after


Up I go


Shortly before my last turning point at the northern edge of the Inn-valley



Last leg took me out of the valleys


After reaching home without a single circle since Innsbruck. Average speed for the whole task around 95km/h

Testing Condor :

















160 km this morning, over Pyrénées.

Nice! Scenery looks stunning for condor
