Spring, Aeros and giant toothpicks



It already smells like spring and we finally had some nice flyable days. Two weeks ago I made my first flight this year. I was up there for an hour and a half, but my camera was not working the whole time, because I still didn’t delete the SD card from skiing.

Anyhow, Aeros winter race is coming and I decided to write a little about it. I am really happy I can be in the organization from the very beginning. We are always doing our best and I have to say it is a lot of fun and also hard work.
We were discussing about weather and we were happy to pick up the first date. Then Aeros asked to take the second dates. I was a little sad about it. Because also me and Matjaz Valjavec- the IT have to take vacations for this competition. Ivan is the first year in pension. 

But Aeros is organizing it, so it has all right to change the date on a reserve date if they want to.  Their reason … well, I didn t like it, but the reason could also be that the fortune cookie, or the Miki Mouse told them it is better to have it on the second days...
  
As it was known that there is 30,00eur to prepay so it was known the second date option could be on.
It was the first year we applied the prepay, because previous years many of the first 50 applied pilots  didn t come.

The competition starts on 18th. I hope we will be able to make it fun and safe. 
Everything is good for something. For me, it was good to be at home last week, because I could help someone I love very much to go to the hospital.

I hope passions come down and no Bora wind to Ukraine. They do not need a weather disasters; they already have enough political issues. I believe we should all be grateful we can have this competition.

From the frost most of the forest is down, spectacular to see when flying over, driving threw or walking in. It is like flying over giant toothpicks. 

I hope to see you in beautiful Vipava valley.
