Wednesday morning: Sunrise flight! :-)

On September 25th, 2013 by Matthias in Allgemein, News

We’re slowly running out of superlatives to describe our magical flights here!

This morning, we got up really early and met at the launch site at 6 o’clock for a sunrise flight. It’s hard to describe the atmospheric morning mood that awaited us at 2000 meters with no poet at hand… ;-) …and even the photos can only depict a faint idea of what it feels like to be up there. Nature’s beauty, they say!

The competition task for this morning was a minimum distance, and we were allowed to drop the marker on the launch site at least 40 minutes after take-off. In fact, it took us two hours to fly back to where we took off, but we made it, and dropped the marker just two minutes before the scoring window closed! =)
