First ACTOS flight over Graciosa

It was about 15:00 UTC when ACTOS took off the first time from Graciosa airport for a oe hour test flight. We decided to fly between two points seperated by 10 km and about 2 km off the coast up to 6.000 ft und er almost clearsky conditions. After we had made two successful training flights yesterday with ballast this was the first chance to check the performance of ACTOS with almost all sensors running. Okay, I forgot to switch on the fine-wire sensors and not all cloud probes were running because the specialists for these sensors had just arrived on Graciosa two hours before but finally a nice cloud over Graciosa allowed us to sample first droplets which made the HALOHOLO people happy.
