On Sunday at the Ossiachersee in Austria the last solo and synchro tasks of Acro Austria were completed and with that the 2011 World Cup Tour has ended.

Adding up all the task results of Acroludeniz, Paranoia and Acro Austria competitions, Hungarian pilots became World Cup Champions 2011 in all 3 categories!

The weather forecast for today was not very promising, awaiting a fast moving cold front with heavy rain in the afternoon. Only the remaining pilots from run 2 - which was stopped due to strong winds yesterday - could perform their routines and around midday the task was completed. At this time one could already see the front line coming up fast on the horizon and around 2 pm. the valley wind turned around, further tasks got cancelled.

Acro Austria 2011 has started on Thursday with perfect weather. Clear blue sky and light winds. The first solo and synchro run was finished by the end of the day.

Last weekend the sky above the Geneva Lake got fully packed with action again! For the second time a new kind of competition was organized, but as the name of the event also says it is more like an exciting show for the public mixed up with all sort of flying demos like airplanes, base jumping, sky-diving, speed-flying, hang-gliding and paragliding acro. The acro comp consists of the so-called "Battles" which is basically a simple direct elimination system where 2 pilots fly out at the same time and fight against each other.
