After the general briefing everybody had to pose for the group photo. Then the teams began to fill the sandbags. This can certainly not be compared with playing in a sandbox, in fact it has to happen very accurately... once in the air the pilots like to be sure about the amount of ballast they have left. Some antifreeze was added because of the possibility to fly to the Scandinavian countries. It leaped to the eye that one of the foreign teams was using sandbags in the Belgian colours ... could this be an omen?
Apparently everybody has the positive feeling that the race will really go on! The question is only: WHEN???
