Greetings from a bit less hot Uvalde on Tuesday afternoon August 7 2012.
Wow this competetion is getting better and better. Are you following me on www.soaringcafe.com? Pilots I expect to be good are less good and others are winning. But it is still a long way to go.
The juniors in Poland are doing a great job as well, flying their Pre JWGC. After 2 days of rest due to cancellation they flew yesterday again;
In club class 2 Dutch pilots won, while in standard class quite a few outlanded.See for results www.soaringspot.com
Here is the latest from Helge on SEGELFLIEGEN INTERNATIONAL.

Most of you are not thinking yet of flying overseas. One pilot does. Jörgen Thomsen. Jörgen and his wife Brigitte bought theirselves a nice new Arcus and they are going to fly it from Stonefield in Australia. Great to see that Stonefield got the attention of pilots after the great reports of young pilots Fabian Peitz and Benjamin Bachmeier both flying their very first 1000 km. over there.
The LS 10 from Jörgen moves there as well and will be for sale AFTER the season. So when you are interested let me know and I will inform Jörgen.
Great pictures again from a awesome flight from Bert Schmelzer jr.Enjoy!
