Lumby Air Races Highlights

The Lumby Air Races wrapped up last week.  The event was super fun with pilots from BC and Alberta competing.  There was a strong west wind on a few days which did not help with trying to complete 10 km triangles around the valley but some nice soaring flights were had from Saddle Mountain.  Triangles were completed by both paraglider and hang glider pilots on a few different days.   The week culminated on Saturday night with a big potluck dinner, the award ceremonies and some music jamming in the hangar and around the campfire.

Congratulations to our winners:
