OFFICIAL PRACTICE FLIGHTS AND PROCESSING

Today we had the official practice flights scheduled at 9.10 am on site N°1, and then the processing at 2.20pm. The weather was ok this morning with a light wind, but it was hot and very humid.  Each pilot had a 10 mn slot for practicing, and a noise test was performed. Then we moved to site N°3 where we met the JAPANESE, ISRAELIAN and HONGKONG Teams, M. YAMADA from YS, ROGER MAO and YANG YONG from OXAI. We just finished the processing  that a storm arrived just over Muncie, and we had some heavy rain showers for an hour. We decided to go and visit the WRIGHT museum located 25 mn from the AMA Headquarters then were back just on time to see the USA and the AUSTRIAN Teams practicing at site N°1. Driving back to the hotel we stopped at a restaurant for diner.
