There is no Shame in Landing Out - MayFly 2008



This was the phrase chanted by all pilots at every daily briefing of the GGC MayFly contest. 11 pilots from three local gliding clubs (and of course GGC) flew in the 10th anniversary edition of MayFly.

Three flying days out of a 4 day contest! Listening to the weather forecast on the Thursday before the May long weekend contest you would have thought that we would have been rained out. However, glider pilot enthusiasm and careful launch timing allowed us to fly for three days.

The top three pilots:
#1 Tim Forbes (RVSS)
#2 Team Jantar (GGC Remi & Karl)
#3 Udo Rumpf

Flights were reviewed every night and a do it yourself grill was the order of the day for Saturday evening.

The pictures say it all...
