Another splendid day. But lets be critical, not too impressed by some take offs, and top landings. All could be improved I guess, not used to take off and land in thermic conditions, don't know.

Although living in mountainous countries, does not mean you master your take off well everywhere.

Lots of take offs are done in nul wind, forward launches. Landings on huge football pitches in wide valleys. Never in gusty, thermic conditions at take offs, like in Alicante Spain. Thermal dynamic conditions. But that makes flying in Alicante so much more challenging. You can learn a lot down here, to become a lot better pilot once back home.

Again take offs have to be bullet proof, let there be no doubt. I insist in having a bullet proof take off, result of hours and hours of groundhandling.

So we can all learn from each other, and keeping our ears and eyes open.

We also had two visitors from Holland enjoying tandem rides.

On the foto, Rafa and Jasna, what a lovely couple eh.

It was 35 degrees, the sun was burning, the sea was cooling, the flying was ... Alicante.
