Up at 5:30 am to make some sandwiches and gather my paperwork. I will get the processing documentation and FAI stickers organized in between practice flights today. Kelly was also up and made a nice coffee for us both.
I met up with Michi, John and Chad downstairs and we finished loading up Michi's van. Off we went to Inglewood Aerodrome where Aaron Garle had arranged access for several different teams. It's a little over an hour's drive west from Warwick. On arrival we were greeted by members from Austria, New Zealand, USA, Australia and after a quick pilot briefing on the site layout and general rules, we all took turns putting in practice rounds. They even put on a nice sandwich spread for us visitors..... great food!
Lots of great conversations about people, planes and trimming issues :-) Our guys managed five rounds with Henry getting in three. I did manage to complete the paperwork and we had all the planes labelled correctly. Here are some picks of the action.

We met up at the Bluebird Kitchen & Smokehouse for some plates of BBQ... once again all very tasty. We plan to repeat today again tomorrow with a trip back to Inglewood Aerodrome.
