More Q Flights done

We are now up to flight 32 in the Q Programme (out of about 53) and the weather is OK although there are some small clouds forming which may make their way into the box soon. Nick Onn has just flown and he put together a good sequence which looked clean from where we were watching. This is only Nick's fourth flight in the Sukhoi he is using, but his hundreds of hours experience on type served him well. We expect Tom and Gerald to fly in the next couple of hours, weather depending.

The atmosphere here is very good with a lot of banter between the teams. Its one of the things that makes this a great sport - very competitive when people are flying, but extremely friendly on the ground - not something that happens in many sports these days.
