During 4 days the great audience could see everything that files...the well known masquerade competition, paragliding and hanggliding acro, D-Bag jumps from helicopter, paramotor show, sky diving and wingsuit demos, hot air balloons, speedflying, autogyro, and all the rest you can (or can't) imagine!
On the giant freeflying expo, all the important freeflying related companies were represented which offers great possibility for the visitors to get to know and try the newest products on the market. As usual, concerts and party was in the schedule of the evening, besised the Film Festival running with many breathtaking movies!
