633 Squadron in Àger ...

...madness & mayhem is the only way to describe the week with the British boys! It started off pretty silly and just got crazier! ;-)
633 Squadron Leader & Barnes Wallis

Conditions this week have been amazing - its not usually like this!! Cloudbase up to 3800m, 100km flights, 34 degrees temperature and its late September!

Lakes all around us :)
The flying has been more of the full-on summer variety with sharp strong thermals and enough turbulence to keep the mind focused on hanging on to the wing at all times. It wasn't quite what the guys expected but they all coped remarkable well with the exciting conditions.

Looking back at the Montsec ridge
The predicted cold front delayed its arrival until the weekend and suddenly the summer became winter overnight as temperatures dropped 20 degrees, the wind switched to the north and everwhere developed an autumnal feeling.
'Autumnal' evening fun!
We tried to fly the last day but resorted to a spot of tourism instead ...
