EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP
by David LEVIN
The European Championship has just concluded in Wloclawek, Poland. www.europeans2013.com. The competition area was mostly flat rural farmland and had plenty of good roads and fields available for targets and launching. The Competition Center was at a small airport with Parachuting and Gliding schools. Gliders and parachutists were busy on most days. It was a perfect location with plenty of room for launching , targets and landing after a goal on the airport. The official's offices were on site and the Direction office was in the control room with an excellent view of the field.
