Heading Home

It’s all over now and we are all heading home in various directions by various means. Gliders are being towed to ports for shipping and returned to their owners in the four corners of the USA. Our team is dispersing back to Australia and the USA, all safe with intact gliders so I am content. The pilots all came here with open minds hoping to fly their best every day against the best in the world. It was an arduous 3 weeks with 7 Official practice days and 13 Competition days in 40C temperatures, and several tasks of 700km plus. Final results after 800,000km of collective flying
