Cool air offshore was very nearly at the saturation point, with a
temperature near 20ºC and a dew point of about 19.5ºC. The air at this
temperature can only hold a certain amount of water vapour, and how much it can

This has important implications for competitions, since it means
the Serial Class initiative rewards gaggle flying even more than what was
already the case. I don’t think that is a good development, as it will lead to
larger, more congested gaggles, to even more tasks being decided in the... mehr

ago. It was spectacularly successful (the most money raised ever). As
you no doubt know the Oz Report does fund raising once a year in March pretty
