Open & 18m Champion Tom Claffey comes into land at Kingaroy Airport on the final day of competition<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

October 13, 2015<\/strong><\/p>\n

After a week of tough competition, the pilots competing in the 2015 Queensland Gliding Championships relaxed and enjoyed dinner on Saturday night at the Kingaroy Soaring Club.<\/p>\n

The championships began on October 3 and ran through until Saturday afternoon, with pilots set specific flying tasks which they had to accomplish to clock up points.<\/p>\n

Thirty competitors, who came from Queensland, interstate and overseas, flew in three classes.<\/p>\n

After the final glider returned home on Saturday afternoon, the points could be added up and the winners announced (see below).<\/p>\n

Also distributed at the dinner were two Gliding Federation of Australia trophies earned by Kingaroy Soaring Club members: The Roger Woods Trophy for the highest placed Australian pilot in a world Club Class championship, and the Wally Wood Memorial Trophy for the pilot completing the longest cross-country flight in Australia.<\/p>\n

Adam Woolley was presented with the first, and David Jansen with the second.<\/p>\n

David’s flight was quite remarkable … he was towed into the sky from Kingaroy Airport about 8:00am on January 2 this year.<\/p>\n

He landed about 12 hours later in Benalla in Victoria, after completing a glide of 1580km!<\/p>\n
