BRU 11/06/2011 Solar Impulse

[Skystef]

As the weather seems favorable from late afternoon on with a windspeed of 5kt or less, a provisory green light has given to "release" Solar Impulse bound for Paris. Of course to be confirmed but if it leaves, a slot can be given with etd somewhere between 1600-2000 local.

I'm afraid I don't understand your message correctly. It means that Solar Impulse will fly VFR during the night?

Correct, last leg can be done during the night.

Briefing of today just ended, they can have a slot between 1500-2000 local. Runway choice will be 25R, somewhere at the mid point to take off.
Other aircraft will have to depart/arrive on the two other runways.

Anyone who was some meteo information for tomorrow afternoon ? Some sunny spells, I hope
