Hello Jim,
Yes, all the usual suspects were there.
They were very long days with some people trimming and test flying until midnight when the air was smoother - Ivan Treger did 38+ around midnight during practice. The format was similar to last year and on the first and second days, the rounds ended at around 10:00 PM (can't remember exactly). I hear that there is talk for next year of shortening the rounds to give a longer break in the early afternoon to allow more time for reflights and lunch etc. 4 hours for a round was too long.
It wasn't so hot this year but if anything, the ground level turbulence was worse. Ivan and Lutz flew well below the ceiling and avoided the 'jetstream'.
Nick.
