Event info
Welcome to the first international NRW Cup 2023! Our Club "Sauerlandair e.V." invites local und international pilots for this new event. Thanks for your interest in flying and competing at our great sites. For those who are unfamiliar with the area, we are located in the eastern part of Nordrheinwestfalen, our big take offs allow us to manage up to 100 pilots. Spring time offers a range of big flights with the wind and propably tricky closed tasks with decent cloudbases and strong climbs. Highest ranges are about 900meter NN, scenic flying above lakes and lost of bigger and smaller valleys. Safe landings everywhere.
Sponsored landing beers by the local Veltins brewery for every pilot crossing the goal line and of course cold bomb out drinks in our retrief cars are the final part of a nice flight and safe landing.
More Informations will be provided within next weeks on on the Airtribune Blog!
