Good conditions

John (above) pictured in front of HDK enjoyed an excellent flight yesterday

We were all sad to farewell Karl & Christel (above next to Eddie) and hope that they have a safe journey home and definitely come back to visit us one day.

Doron (above) had a huge grin after his great flight in KYO. Also, Bjorn (below) had made the most of the good conditions with a long flight in the Pik 20-D.


Bjorn & Lis (above) with Liam & Eddie headed for home today. Doron also was up early to catch his plane in Melbourne. We very much look forward to seeing them all again next season!!
