Two of our main pilots on foto. Pepe, first one who did acro in our region and buddy of Raul, THE Raul yes. Under him Rafa, no need to introduce him, he flies his reserve better than us, our certified gliders, a master.
They both took off at Carrascoy and landed hours later in Guardamar, near the sea, 61 km.
Just hit that day in between fronts, got cloudbase at 2900 m, thermals up to 3 m/s, so all smooth untill landing. There they met the famous seabreeze, kicking in strong, having to land backwards on the beaches. Enhorabuena, means congratulations for the two stars.
Down below a shot of Carrascoy. It was a very sunny day again, with lots of wind in Alicante. But today the isobars were spreading, so Carrascoy was the plan, actually if you read my blog yesterday it was plan A. Best choice.
