Great Flying Season
Opening for Icaro at Bassano! |
| First
International European Competition in 1999! The 19th
International Flight Meeting that takes place at Bassano (Italy),
every year during the Easter Holidays, ended yesterday with an
excellent balance for Icaro and Icaro pilots. The weather was
excellent, 5 tasks were flown in 5 days, plus the new location in
San Zeno di Cassola, is much better and the organization was great.
The competition results were even
more amazing: Manfred Ruhmer won the first place overall,
Robert Reisinger came in second and Icaro had 9 pilots within the first 10.
Oleg Bondarchuck came in third, being the only pilot not flying a
Laminar in the first 10 places.
There were a total of 78 pilots
competing with 28 of them flying Laminar and most of these placing
in the top half of the ranking list (24 within the first 40).
Moreover, each task was won by a Laminar pilot (Manfred 4
and Robert 1)!
The manufacturer’s trophy -of course- was awarded
to Icaro 2000 and the Austrians (flying Laminar) got the
team’s first place, the Italians came in second and the British
came in third. |

| The Brasilian
Nationals and Brazil Open de Vôo Livre,
