Official Day 1 of the WGC 2023 in Australia! All pilots spread their wings, including Uys Jonker back in action after regaining full strength. It was a challenging yet rewarding day, with one long blue leg and mostly cumulus on the rest of the task. The team all made it back to the airfield. Onward and upward! 🌤️🚁 #SAgliding #WorldGlidingChamps #SkyConquerors

Touchdown after about a 3-hour flight on Practice Day 2! 🛬 Phillip Jonker first had to play the artist and create his tail number with insulation tape. M1 is good to go now. While the official task was cancelled for the practice day, our South African gliding team still decided to soar. Spirits are soaring high for Practice Day 3! ✈️ #SAgliding #WorldGlidingChamps #SoaringSuccess

🇿🇦✈️ Gliding adventures down under! 🌏 Practice Day 1 at the 37th FAI World Gliding Championships in Narromine, Australia: Despite the forecast throwing us a curveball, Team South Africa spent the day getting their gliders scrutineered. The real challenge? The bakkie decided to play hard to get and automatically locked the keys inside, but thanks to some South African ingenuity and a helpful Aussie (who was one of us 20 years ago), we're now armed with a wire hanger success story! Ready to break through any obstacle and soar high tomorrow.i🇿🇦✈️ Glidh🇿🇦✈️ GltJonker Sailplaneslanes
Sounds like another SAfrican pilot who took off with the bakkie keys in Benalla some years ago
Ha ha you'll find that there are very many Aussies who used to be one of you many years ago!! I'm also one of them!

Good luck to our boys Down Under. AP Kotze and Uys Jonker are flying JS3's in the 15 m World Gliding Championships in Narrowmine in Australia, and Phillip Jonker and Laurence Hardman are both flying LS8's in the Standard class.
