BAeA Saltby Open 2016
Congratulations to Trevor Dale who came third in the Saltby Open Plate aerobatic competition this year. To put this in perspective, the winner was Dietmar Poll and second place went to Ramon Dormans.
The winner of the Saltby Open contest is the pilot who gains
the highest percentage score regardless of the category in which they fly.
Trevor's View
It was an early start, up at 6:30am,
breakfast at 7am, briefing at 8am (with the two Unknown Sequences issued to all
competitors) and a long day to get some 44 flights done on the friday
as this was the only realistic weather day of the three allotted for the
competition, heavy rain and thunderstorms either side.
Was really pleased with a
personal best ever overall score of over 80% and that the first, second
and fourth placed pilots were all flying the Swift S1 Aerobatic glider!
