Thunderstorms again today. Next week promises to be dry with temperatures in the high 30's all week.

Now we have hail.....

Had a couple of days flying, mainly to the northern part of the task area. Challenging as the ground rises more that 1500' above the Uvalde elevation and it takes a bit longer to kick off up there. Left the glider in the hangar today and I wouldn't say it was flooding however the streets of Uvalde are awash after some fairly heavy and extensive thunderstorm activity through most of the day.

Three days of Monsoonal weather conditions. Straight to thunderstorms. No flying. maybe tomorrow?

Practice begins

Three flights so far.

P51 at Uvalde

4D keeps good company courtesy of the Huff Air hangar whilst the rain and thunderstorms keep Uvalde humid...

Hello Darlin'

Southfork Ranch TX. As the new series of "Dallas" begins here in Texas, 4D finally gets a customs clearance in LA after some "special" attention. The glider will be collected from the importer today and I will begin the 3 day drive from LA to Uvalde on the 24th or 25th with the anticipation of beginning practice around the 29th June. The weather indicates temperatures in the high 30's to low 40's a month out from the contest...

Preparations

 4D gets a polish before shipping to the USA on 18th May.

Yes, these are the undercarriage doors..:)
