2nd international Vintage Glider Meeting "Ugo Zannier"
The second International Vintage Glider Meeting "Ugo Zannier "
took place in Rivoli di Osoppo from 9th to 16th July 2011.
The meeting was held on the airfield of the Associazione Volovelistica
di Rivoli di Osoppo (AVRO), which is
situated in a very favourable geographic area which offers excellent gliding
conditions.
The airfield is located at the foot of the Pre-Alps Giulie, near the
mount Cuarnan. With a short tow, the participants did enjoy the imposing
scenery of Canin and Goglians massif, which is ideal for thermal lifts.
Pilots from Switzerland, Germany, France, Nederland and Italy have attended
to this second International Vintage Glider Meeting, some of them by driving
over 12 hours with their sailplane into the trailer to reach the place.
Long journey, but it was worth while both for the unique flying conditions
of Rivoli di Osoppo and also for the warm welcome and hospitality of the
people of club AVRO.

Fifteen were the sailplanes flying in this meeting, of which five two-seaters
offered to many visitors the possibility of flying and admiring the beauty
of the region.
The Meteo was excellent and we could fly 6 days of the total 8 days of
the meeting. The initiative of the people of Club AVRO provided also interesting
alternatives to flying, which satisfied all participants.

The "Parco delle Dolomiti" offered in many cases the possibility
to the pilots to fly together with griffons as gliding mates.
The presence of Griffons in that area is due to the restocking project
of the Natural Reserve of the lake Cornino, project which is giving already
great results, with a population of over 70 units.
The meeting closed down with the dinner of Friday 15th July and both participants
and organisers were completely satisfied.
We all may say: "Grazie AVRO"
