To prepair the World Gliding Championships, which will be held at the Adolfo Gonzales Chaves (Buenos Aires, Argentina) in 2012, I'm competing in the Pre-World Championships which will be held in january of the same year. I hope I can write some exciting stories about gliding and funny ones that comes along with such adventure..
I'll be competing in the club class in a Jantar 2. There are a lot of competitors from around the world.
So far the Argentinians have been very helpfull. My retriever will be a local from Cordoba where the glider is based. Lookes like I'm going to be the only Dutchman on the field. Although... It seems that the village and the airfield has Dutch roots!
I'm gonna write soon. Departure is planned on the 2nd of January. For those who already want to know more: http://www.wgc2012.com.ar/

Hard to see, but maybe you can find the pool and the tennis court :)
