Ladies and Gentlemen's,

Here we are, a couple of months before starting a new and fantastic adventure. Looking at the number of mails and exchanges I saw during the last day's I start thinking that it becomes really live: the project is on track and our coordinator is well tuned giving you the last infos as soon as something new is available.

Actually 19 pilots are registred, 3 Aerotow pilots and 5 ladies acompagny their partner, all spread over a period going from December 4th to January 14th. Two additional pilots are probably joining with their companions, we just have to settle final planning with them. 

From a material point of view it looks like everything is taking place, the Glider's will start to converge from South to NE and the pilots are now looking the best event or occasion to meet and organize the travel knowing that we will certainly have to pack somewhere mid of October (the exact dates will be known soon). Pilots from South are targetting the event of the Coupe d'ICARE, exactly the week-end of Sept 24-25 in St Hilaire in the Alps to bring together their glider's. They will be carried by the North pilots... 

I will also start now some buzz around our trip to gather some attention: magazine, our Federation (CND) and maybe some people or organisations that could help from a financial point of view: do not hezitate to share your good idea it could help a lot. 

Communication is key from now on so please don't hezitate to contact this blog or people directly and if it concerns the community please contact the coordination. As you know we are going to spend some very exiting moments and I would like to ping a moment on security aspects at it is indeed the most important. We are going to aerotow in conditions that are not usual and if you might have some doubts about your capabilities in this domain please continue your training. Security is not only in the air and given our last experience I really ask you to restrain your enthusiasm when driving on the road (keep it intact for your flights)...

That's said, we can start Countdown, 3 months to go, be patient ..... 

See you soon  Pascal
