Good evening from Uvalde’s WGC Day 12!

It has been a long day here, as many of you can already imagine from reading the rest of the news. PC (Austrian team) and FB (French team) had a mid-air collision around 3 PM today. FB made a safe landing back at Uvalde airport and PC bailed out of his glider and rode his parachute safe to the ground. He was then picked up by a helicopter, brought to Uvalde airport and then went to the local hospital for a precautionary check. I just want to reassure you the pilots involved in the incident today are doing fine, none of them was hurt. This was confirmed by the Austrian team captain after keeping in touch with PC’s family.

As the day run by us, I would just like to admire the professional and safe behavior of all the people involved in administrating this “event”, everybody knowing their role and importance of their actions. This only shows how great organizers this competition has.
