Unfortunately there was a 30kt xwind gusting all day. Much of the flying program had to be cancelled.
Highlights were a decathlon ground looping until it was dizzy and having to be pulled away by hand, and the Connie being tugged onto runway 08/26 only to break through the Tarmac and become stuck for the duration.
Pity, the talent booked for the day was sure to be spectacular, with some awesome aerobatic displays scheduled. Hopefully the next one works out better, but they do say, frequently, that's aviation!
Edit: if you call that perfect weather you're a braver man than I am.
