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!

Eine Überraschung war der New Comer Markus "Sunny" Börner. Erster Wettbewerb und kräftig abgeräumt. Mit einem Tester, also Erstflug auf einem Ozone Photon, zur Verfügung gestellt von Pepe Malecki, ist er nach 95km, (ohne GPS) am Ziel vorbei gegast (oh mann) und weiter Richtung Düsseldorf :) Chapeau! Starke Leistung auch vom Test Pilot , Blogger und Journalist Lucian Haas, er war am 1. Task glücklicher letzter von 17 Piloten im Goal, der wirklich nicht einfach zu starten noch zu beenden war. Last but not least Robby Loeltgen auf Platz Drei.
