Back in Austria
Crossing the border to Austria again! Back in home airspace, traditionally opening a can of RED BULL
Closing ceremony
Today, the others are the winners. 1st Daniel Ryfa, 2nd Anton Berkutov, 3rd Simon Fick. Congratulations to the winners. Patrick makes 34th place. Altogether better than any expectations but a place under the best 20 was possible. "Shit happens, I'm looking forward and after this contest I know I can compete with the best of Europe" Patrick commented after the closing ceremony, again having a smile on his face.
Contest completed
A little bit disappointed after my last flight. Only place 35 after 2 big mistakes in the competition flight. Need some sport to become clear of my mind again.
Support from Austria
Friends from Austria visiting me during the contest, what a surprise. Here with Kurt and Marco. Thanks guys for support.
After three flights
Happy again, place 28 after three competition flights, very good mid result for the first international contest. Qualified for the final unknown.
Preparing for contest
Relaxing before the flight in our Team tent, looks easy but work will start in a few minutes
