Yarra Valley Flight Training held the competition, Columnless Flying, on 19th May, 2013. The next competition is Instrumentless Flying, on 23rd June, 2013. All are welcome, especially partners and families.
The winner was Paul Tripovich, with 108 points.
Sunday the 19th of May did not initially look good for a flying competition. Grey clouds made the sky overcast, dampness was in the air: this was the sight which greeted the competitors on the day of the comp at about 10 o'clock Sunday morning. But as the hours passed on, things got better and better and in the end a beautiful Winter's day was apparent to all, but the low cloud base would not permit action above 1800' AGL over the verdant Yarra Valley.
Paul Tripovich, Brooke Walter, Dan Veysey and Dave Porter all have something in common!
