AXALP 2018 - questions

[Alpha Kilo One]

Today training started early. Good morning show, although not a show, but a training! Nice to see 6 F-5's in action. Very light rain didn't spoil the day. Nice to find out that walking from the lift to the bus was only some 35-40 minutes on the way down. Thus avoiding the queue at the lift, and winning lots of time in waiting for the bus. Sun came in late, making photography more challenging than ever. Good day altogether!

Anyone full log of 11th October?
