US fans will want to watch the pre-worlds toady at http://www.wgc2008.org/
Rick Walters is in a commanding 200 point lead. (Way to go Rick!) But the report reads At windspeeds of 25 to 30 knots and cloudbase at 1300 meters the day won't be easy. Quite possible that we'll have some outlandings today. John Cochrane |

Rick Walters won in the 18 meter class by placing 17th today, the last
day, with the LS 10. In the 15 meter class, also a LS 10, won the day and will move up in the standing as well. As of yesterday that pilot was in 17th place overall.

But I do not know Florian. Please tell me who Florian is! Martin and Georg were always inspiring me with their flights in their LS4. I could not believe it was possible to fly as far as they did. They also, foolishly, would fly with me in the K-7, teaching me the fine art of winch launching. Please tell them that I send 'Greetings' and 'Well Done' on the race results. Oh, I still miss the people of DJK! Ray Lovinggood Carrboro, North Carolina, USA |

Florian is the son of Johannes (who is the youngest of the Theisinger Brothers). He started gliding at the age of 14 and is already an instructor. David Schneider is the son of Johannes Schneider who you also ought to have known. Martin and Georg were always inspiring me with their flights in their LS4.
