A Fly in was called and the winds would have had us approach the launch field from the west. Surface winds were a little high to start of with but looked like they were slowing down to the point that event getting to the target may have been an issue - especially if we need to go high for steerage where the speed was very slow.
I was just about to start the fan when the pager went off saying that the flight was cancelled. It was a real bummer as we had a great launch site and felt we were in the correct location for a good result. The funny thing is that I don't mind the flight being cancelled as much as not knowing if all the planning and work we do leading up to the flight was correct...
Still no results from this morning which is annoying. How hard can it be to score two tasks?
The task setting has been a little disappointing as we have fantastic weather for the first time in many years here in Saga and it looks like we may only fly 15 tasks...it should be more like 20. Nothing I can do but it is a shame to see the flights wasted.
We celebrated the night off with a home cooked meal at Mizuho's house. Paul cooked Spaghetti for us all. Her father is very funny.
It was then off to the Laundromat to get some clothes cleaned and now time to sleep again.
