Flagman GO, GO, Flagman GO!

I just didn't have the energy to update anything yesterday. So here is something that has been going on...

We finished the Frees yesterday and started the 1st unknowns today. Got up to 40 pilots, which is a good amount, since a bit of time was spent to the video checks during breaks. Since the programs flown today, were unknowns, there was unfortunately some mistakes in some flights and we had to make sure what happened after the flight from video.

We haven't had much of a breaks from judging, today we managed to get 40 flights done, yesterday 50 or so.. that is A LOT! So we've heard this FLAGMAN GO-call several times, it is always the Chief Judge who gives the permission to flagman to send the next pilot up when the previous ends the program and joins the downwind for landing.

Tomorrow in the morning we'll hopefully get the 1st unknowns done and then after lunch start the 2nd unknowns. Tomorrow evening we'll have also a Aqua party, so we'll see. Could be fun!

Here is few photos to end todays report too...

The muddy afternoon (eastern judging position), during a small rain... 

It didn't rain for long, but... 

there was a lot of rain at that short time! :D

 

The German team had some kind of photo shoot, so I of course used the opportunity too :D

Had a break today in the red bull tent after lunch. Well, got myself about 5 minutes but I really like this with sofas and everything!

A view from the eastern judging position, this is next to the corn field and is in use during the mornings. 

South judging line, this was in use yesterday the whole day, and the view to the airport is nice!

 

Chief judges tent...

And here we go with Free warm up pilot!

And you can really see and hear the planes taking off and landing! 

The best place to judge - definately!

Every cloud has a silver lining... This was the nice ending for today...
