We thought, from the start of the week, that this could be a 7 task event and the weather is still good for a task. We will, therefore, be tasking again today.

Pilots are on the way to launch and we will have task details, as usual, at about 11:30. Keep watching because everything could change today ...

Final day tomorrow and still everything to fly for - see you there ...
