As forecasted, Day Two was another day of rain, fog, and little flying. There was a slight break in weather during the early afternoon that allowed pilots to ferry the planes to Ascot. However, the rain came back and proved it was there to stay just as the first pilot began to train; all flying was cancelled.
It wasn’t a day wasted, though. Jason and Rick focused on the team’s newest project – winglets! Although they will not be making their debut in Ascot, the team is expecting them to be ready for Austria. The team also enjoyed spending time with a special visitor! Friend and fellow aerobatic pilot, Melissa Pemberton, stopped by for the afternoon to take a peek behind the scenes. It was great to catch up!
After two days of no practice, all teams are hoping for some better weather moving forward to tomorrow. Ticket holders can expect only one round of training before the Qualifying Round!
