Day 2: Annecy and Marlenz

At the take off in marlenz



Thanks to Tadej who took great pictures :-)

Second day in Annecy.

The MRAT Fan Club T-shirt is becoming the most popular uniform around.

As it can be seen on the following picture and completely not intended by the designer, it fits especially well the female forms ...

We are increasing the number of fans to the support mrat club. Go nova! Go!

Today we flew in Marlenz. Only Tadej managed to extract himself from the site and go to Ugine. The rest of us flew local and landed at the official atterro next to Partick Berod's Gites.

Day 1: Travel and Annecy

The tonality of the diet for the trip is a given : it will be Cheese !

We walked up at 4am to travel fresh. At 6h30 on the highway, Arnel and arturo are enjoying a Camembert with a spoon ! Welcome to France, buds.

We are now in Annecy. Where we join Hannoteau family and Michele and Rod.

Rod at the first take off : Unsuccessful Launch :-)

Few snap shots of the day.

Day -1 : Preparing the stuff ... August 1st

Day -1
We are in the south suburb of Paris. tomorow morning, Arnel, Arturo and Erik are arriving at the different airports of Paris. We will spend the afternoon in the city. Finalizing the packing, having dinner in Paris, visiting the Eiffel Tower and going to bed early !! Sunday morning we will have a very early start ! 3.am ! .. no 4 am .. maybe :-)

Could not find the IR interface on that computer, thus no transfert of pictures for this time. I'll do that via cable during the trip ...

Arnel is making the experience of Jetlag ...

Thermal practice in Dunlap, CA

Only part of the team did it to Dunlap this weekend. This was an amazing trip. Arturo is on his way back from Chile. He will join us next time. Erik had some family visiting.

I tried to make a compilation of short clips ...here it is ... For the web, I had to post a low quality, but I might upload a better version in You Tube. Keep posted.

Personal message to the student who canceled : You should not have :-) This was an AWESOME weekend of flying !

Music by Eric Clapton (Three O'Clock Blues) ... and Bob Dylan (Subterranean Homesick Blues) and by my Vario...: Craig, this is for you since we don't need a weatherman to to know from where the wind blows ...LOL
