ice floes. Though there was a potential for... mehr

Australia has the simplest proposal:
Australia proposes that the minimum team size for all countries is
three for category 1 events.
We also propose that country team scores be based on the total of three team

Bergisch Gladbach-Schildgen - Die Gleitflieger in der Region schwebten schon auf Wolke sieben: Im März 2006 hatte der Kreistag in Bergisch Gladbach freie Bahn für den kleinen Flughafen in der Nähe des Hoverhofs gegeben.

Bei den Forbes Flatlands gab es einen tödlichen Unfall: Die Aufhängung wurde vom Drachen getrennt und der Pilot befand sich samt Gurtzeug im freien Fall. Als er die Rettung warf entwickelte der Schirm beim öffnen eine sehr hohe Kraft, dadurch wurde die Verbindung vom Schirm zum Gurtzeug getrennt. Soweit ich es den Berichten entnehmen [...] mehr

Pride goeth before a fall. Here's a little lesson that gets "learnt" so many
times.
We were given a new turnpoint and we had to input it manually. I dislike the
fact that they are using degrees, decimal degrees here instead of the world wide
standard of degrees, minutes,... mehr

This statement from the previous report on Andy's accident proved
upsetting:
The pilot would have wanted us to continue flying a task today (as
he told Gerolf previously) but the Austrian team wanted to have a day of respect
for him. I hate this. The Austrian team guys were effected and didn't want to
fly.
It had already been reported in the... mehr

There have been corrections and updates to my original report. You
can see some of them here:
http://ozreport.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5860. It appears as though the
