6th stage: Via China

Tomorrow at 2:00 UTC Matevž will take off from Chittagong and continue flight through Myanmar, Laos and Vietnam to Nanning, China.

Permits for China are already approved. We also got a guarantee for suitable fuel.

Tomorrow's flight is 1700 km long and will last for 7 hours. On the way we expect isolated storms, which will be more intensive during the landing in China. This year the monsoon time began sooner than usual and this was quite a surprise and affected our plans a little. Most likely Matevž will need to practice some giant slalom skills thru the stormy clouds and we hope that the flight will not be extended due to bad weather. You are invited to watch GLWF "air race" in the clouds.

 

6. etapa. Težko pričakovana Kitajska

Jutri ob 02:00 UTC (4.00 zjutraj po našem času) bo Matevž vzletel z letališča Chittagonga in nadaljeval let preko Mjanmarja, Laosa in Vietnama do Nanninga na Kitajskem.

Dovoljenja za Kitajsko so urejena, prav tako imamo zagotovilo za primerno gorivo.

Jutrišnji let bo dolg 1700 km in bo trajal dobrih 7 ur. Na poti pričakujemo izolirane nevihte, ki bodo v času pristanka na Kitajskem izrazitejše. Letos se je monsunsko vreme začelo hitreje kot ponavadi in nas je pri načrtovanju etap presenetilo. Najverjetneje bo potrebno nekaj veleslalomskih veščin med nevihtnimi oblaki in upamo, da se zaradi slabega vremena ne bo pretirano podaljšal let. Vabljeni, da si v živo ogledate GLWF “air race” med oblaki.
