Luigi , Davide and Marco Aldini
responsibles of the flight operations, take offs, arrivals and grids, would like to thank all pilots and crews for the great cooperation given. The correct glider placing in the grid, the punctual presence of all pilots in the glider for take off and the discipline in the arrivals, permitted us to work comfortably and with safety for all. It has been a great pleasure and honour for us to work together with you.

Best Regards to all and we hope to see you back in Rieti soon!

Hello Rieti! Thanks for the wonderful time and the lot of friendships we found. It took some time to get used with the “Italian way of life” but it was a terrific time with the large family of the glider pilots, their crews, all the other tuggies and the officials. Warm greetings from the Austrian-Tow-Team OE-KUM Peter “presente” and Günter (alias Kuntair alias Cesenatico) www.segelflug.at
