Sonchaux Acro Show - Pal finished 3rd

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.
