Team Mazda UK sends teams of pilots to both levels of competition. Team pilots are selected by the British Aerobatic Association from the best in Britain based on performance at domestic aerobatic competitions.

Morning Mist

Tuesday morning is a bit foggy at the airfield, although we can see the sun, so perhaps the mist will dissipate soon. The warm-up pilot has now been scheduled to take-off at 1000 and then we will continue with the Free Unknown flights. The box orientation is the same as yesterday - main axis direction 08 and judges in the south. The weather forecast suggests a stronger wind for this afternoon as the warm front approaches - perhaps as much as 24 knotts (120 degrees). So we will have to see how much flying is possible today. Hopefully we will get the Free Unknown finished, because we are expecting poor weather for Wed through to Friday. That would still allow us some time on Saturday to fly the Second Unknown and proposals for that sequence need to be submitted by 1200 today. The Organisers are working hard to make maximum use of any good weather, so I am sure that we will be flying as soon as possible this morning. Nick and Gerald will probably be flying after lunch.
