Today the F4C pilots started their 3rd round of flights. The weather was fine in the morning and we hoped that all 32 pilots could fly this round today. But around 3 pm the rain started agian and no more flying was allowed. The weatherforecast for tomorrow is not very good for the first half of the day but the second half look very promissing. So we hope that all the pilots in this class will have 3 flights at the end of Friday. The consequense of this is that the F4H class will fly their 3rd round on Saturday. We don't have any results today but you can see more pictures from Thursday here. Above is Stefan Olsson from Sweden with his very nice and very well flying Sopwith Pup after 3rd flight today.
