May 7
Today was the first day of practice "in the box". Due to a Padres day baseball game at Petco stadium (very close to the shoreline where the Red Bull Air Race course is set) we weren't able to fly during game time so one flight was made during the morning and then we had to wait until late in the afternoon for the second practice. Yoshi's flight time was around 18:00 and the low sun made it difficult for the later pilots on the flight list. We had a good run and came in 9th for the second practice session. This made for a long day with team briefing at the TRW at 0745 and getting back to the Hotel at 20:30.
Tomorrow we will post a video of todays flight on utube. Three more practice flights tomorrow and the last chance to "learn" the best lines around the course before qualifying on Saturday!
