WMAC Flying 20/12/2015 (5 days to Christmas)

by PMB-NZ|Published 20/12/2015|1 comment

An ALES glider competition was held today. To quote Keith Elliott… ”

Conditions quite challenging today with more sink than lift. A tad cool for this time of year.

Peter Williams showed us all up with a set of maxes and a resultant perfect score.”
