the briefing .... and waiting to launch
at the launch point - only old ships
Thanks to Rudi Shurkes and Otto Toenges I had a K8 (GZD) to fly in [THANK YOU OTTO and THANK YOU RUDI]. They also sponsored a number of other pilots - Martin in GAN - another K8, Jerry and Reinhold in a Ka2b, and Adri and Adriaan in a K7. Others flew their own planes, notably Liewe Heksie in a K6 and Arri, the Spatzmeister, needless to say in a ...
Must say, the K8's were certainly the weapon of choice for the day ;-) and well done to Martin who won!

It was a really tricky day (see Adriaan's logfile on OLC) and one had to have your wits about you. I saw Arri do his outlanding at Fischer's and followed the retrieve by Adriaan and Adri (from Rescue International!!) on the radio, whilst flying in formation with Rico in his DG500M (he is now looking to buy a K8 - or twenty of them).

On Sunday i was on duty as instructor and also had the privilege to fly with Mark Leeuwenbergh, 3rd ranked Dutch team pilot and 15m contender at Lusse. Man, does he fly well!! (again have a look at the OLC file for 18 November)
