(the second to last day)

We were sitting at the briefing, the weather man said his daily sentence: "There
will be only sun today" and we were laughing, when suddenly a dust devil on

At last, the shutters went back and St Andre looked its normal

(Seventh task)
http://corinnaflies.blogspot.de/

main road to goal, but even I waited for a while and it was sunset when they
came to pick me up....

The local rules state:
Radio transceivers are required. The only radio transceivers that
may be used in Australia are 477 Mhz Australian UHF band and Airband radios. 2
Meter radios are not legal for aviation use in Australia.

No flying so far: http://www.para-euro2012.com/
Very complicated weather: sunny but narrow windows for flying, with over
development of congestus and rains in the after noon. We were expecting a task
from Saint André to Laragne, but the clouds make it impossible. So flyable, but
not taskable. Day cancelled.

low again but managed to climb back up and get together with the main group on
4o km where we went to 3000m and went on a bit easier....
