"Hello friends, after celebrating our Jewish holiday Hanukkah with a 300-kilometer spinning top drawing in the sky yesterday, we wanted to honor our Christian brothers who celebrate Christmas. One of the Holiday symbols is the Christmas tree. So we invested and gave up a good soaring day for a 400 kilometers painting in the sky. We did not settle and decided to decorate the Christmas tree as usual. So at its top we drew a classic star of 30 kilometer. The star was hard and required us to make a continuous flight without thermaling, unfortunately the star was made in a bad area with sinking air and as we finished the star we set direction for potential landing. Finally everything worked out we finished the painting in excellent soaring conditions.
So in my name and in the name of Avron Tal the pilots who draw in the sky,
Happy holiday to all religions
