Ending on a High Note From Musical Airports via Team Bonhomme #55 Pit-News
Friday and Saturday turned into a game of ''musical airports''. On Friday we sat and watched the fog and I drank tea... just like flying in the UK winter... and then after lunch there was a chink of light from the east... Jurg, the helicopter film pilot, decided to go and have a look and he then invited me to go with him... the fog was sat right over our temporary runway but amazingly it was clear at the eastern end of the runway. So the decision was made to fly out of the car park and move the aeroplanes to Maia, our original mustering airport, where we hopefully would not suffer from the fog. The track all this time had been sat in blue skies and sunshine... after we arrived in Maia, the fog which had previously not threatened the track decided to waft (good word ''waft'') up the river and obscured the bridge on the run-in to the track. It decided to do this after I had taken off for my training run... so I enjoyed another little scenic tour of Porto from the air and ended up back at, you guessed it, Maia... we left the aeroplanes there for the night with the plan of running the qualifying day from there. Qualifying day was fun. We flew a training session in the morning and then ...
