January 16 and 17, 2013 - Poor Weather

Yesterday, January 16, we went to the grid under overcast skies, waited there for a while and then went back to our tie down spots. Around 2 PM the meteo office issued a warning of thunderstorms with possible hail approaching from the South, so Luis and I de-rigged the Kilo-Yankee and put it in its trailer.

Today promises to be a repeat of yesterday. We woke up to another overcast day, this time with a slight drizzle. 10 minutes ago we got a message that "the grid today will be runway 18..... yada yada yada". I guess the organizers are trying to will another flying day into existence before this championship ends, but the odds of that happening don't seem to be very good.
