Canadian Team Training Camp - Day 4

Today we flew! Dr Jack predicted good conditions along the Lake Erie shore, so the task was set Hagersville Aylmer for the Advanced Class and Hagersveille Tilsonburg for the novice class.
Jerzy gave the seminar today, discussing thermal techniques.

The 1 hour seminar finished with lots of questions and was then followed by the pilot meeting and safety briefing by John Brennan about landing out.

We launched at 1245 and found lift off tow to about 4000 agl. Cu had already started to pop to the south along the shore line. Perfect for the tasks! The gates opened and everyone headed out. We had no landouts today, so there were lots of smiling faces around the BBQ dinner.
the Canada Day Fireworks are planned to be set off as soon as it gets dark.
