In the moring I checked the weather, discussed the situation with Blondi on the phone and decided to approach Opole, which is registered on travelbyglider. I called them and they confirmed that a place in the hangar would be available. Picture with Anja and Wojcech before departure. Anja told me about the bad weather forecast with hail and lightning and that I can still land again in Jelenia Gora today.
The day started with 700m cloud base (agl), had to use the engine in the beginning. Later huge clouds over the mountains to my right and also to the left let me think about going back and staying another day.
Between the Wrozlaw airspace and the rain there was a gap for me ;-)
I followed the dark clouds to the south, but at some point I had to fly north... But only dead air with no clounds... Got 20km before Opole, the rest was sponsored by two stroke engine.
Landing next to fire fighter planes. These beauties can cary 2400l water, they have the same engine as An2 with 1000horse power.
Opole offers lots of hangar space. When they have 30 gliders as guests in July they all fit in here!
My place for tonight:
Conrad and Pawel invited me for dinner and showed me the city, beautiful. Here the Venedig part of town with the Odra in the background
