 REST DAY today

 After 7 days of practise and 7 days of sometimes pretty hard work in the air and ON the ground pilots and crews enjoy a WELL DESERVED rest day . They cope with heat, dust , and unstabel weather but….they all love flying here In Uvalde.
Look for all the news, 3 times refreshed or updated  on www.soaringcafe.com   where as I heard the visitors have beaten all records till now. GOOD as we want to inform as many about our great sport soaring.The last week will be for sure the most exciting one. Go for scores to www.soaringspot.com

There is more then flying in Uvalde as one of my favourite places to go Rieti has it’s yearly CIM.I have been writing there as well.
What’s happening there?
They have flown 4 days now in 6 classes and I am very pleased to see that one ” of my” juniors from 2005 , Jelmer Wassenaar,is on the top position in the 2 seater class with 3415 points and winning the day yesterday in the DG 1001 TE. Jelmer works for DG as well after finishing his university degree in Delft.
