February 21st

The last night at the ASCC for this season.
Pepe invited us for his famous paella meal.
We had to improvise a little bit in the cooking area as we had a 20kts wind blowing . With some covers in the front
we did build a perfect kitchen and Pepe did cook a perfect paella.
The first paella for Frank and Alissa and the liked it. Escpecially the schrimps were all gone in no time.

It was the last day for Noppies and Elise who are leaving on Tuesday for Denmark.
On behalf of all the pilots thank you very much for your dedication and help in this very difficult season.
Have a save trip home and we will meet again.

Also the lst day for Jorgen and Birgitte, they are also leaving on Tuesday

The last meal of the season

February 19th

In the mean time in the last few days most of the pilots left.Team PZ, Team JM, team, ILH, team SY, Team N?, team MK and team MD.
Jos and Sonja are on a holiday, Noppies and Elise away for a long week-end to Hilston (by car), team TT still in Corowa
and Pepe & Rodger waiting for some good flying weather.
And we? time for other things.

This morning we woke up and yes rain again. Before the sun appeared at noon we had 25mm rain at the airfield .
When will this stop ???
But we were realy happy we had the containers collected on Wednesday in stead of the planned today. It would have been impossible!!

For the next 5 or 6 days SUN is forecasted !

Wet again

The apron

time for other things

February 17th

Coffee at 10 am with the pilots who are still in Corowa.
After that cleaning the clubhouse, maintenance on LGT and cleaning the office.
The forecast was rain and quite a bit .
And what did we get?????
This.

This in stead of rain !!!

February 16th

Containers are packed and we are waiting for the pickup . Rain, drizzle, Wagga had 12 mm already today.
What is going to happen will we get rain which will make it impossible to drive the trucks on the apron?

We were lucky, only 0.8 mm drizzle and the arrival of the trucks at 5:45 pm.
All containers were loaded and without severe damage on the apron. pfffffffffffffff.
The season is over, except for Rodger who still has ZRD in the hangar.
The containers will wait at B&K until Monday when they will be shipped. ETA R'dam is April 10th.

February 15th

Happy birthday today for Eveline Lange. A small choir today . The happy birthday song was well ment but not very well tuned.
After the happy birthday we had coffee and cake, the last of the season.
The last few days we had some flyable weather, but basically the weather was not brillant with another
40 mm of rain on Friday and Saturday. Flooded again !!
With the forecast in our head and a very wet and soft apron we thought it would be the best to pack 1 container
move this to melbourne and put the other ones on the hard surface in front of the terminal building.
Otherwise we would damage our apron in a terrible way or facing a delayed departure of the containers.

With more rain to come we decided to finish all containers today.
Tomorro according plan 1 (maybe all) container to Melbourne and the others on Saturaday. (ETD wed)

Today was perfect for packing. A cloudy sky, not too hot and DRY!!
A relaxed day as we slowly packed some gliders in all containers in the last few days.
With all the pilots and LADIES! we did a great job today.
By 7 pm we closed the doors and all containers are packed and ready to go.
The hangar is clean and packed for the winter.

Happy Birthday Eveline
