Competition Update: Flying Resumes with a Successful Task 3
Aug 21 2025
After a day of silence in the skies following the tragic accident during Task 2, the competition resumed yesterday with renewed focus and determination. Pilots returned to the air for Task 3, and what a day it was — strong conditions, high cloudbase, and booming thermals made for an exhilarating and challenging round.
The skies were alive with energy as pilots took full advantage of the powerful weather setup, allowing them to push hard and cover ground with confidence. The task proved to be not only demanding but also highly rewarding, showcasing the skill and resilience of our competitors.
Once again, it was Sérgio Sampaio who soared above the rest, claiming victory in Task 3 just as he did in Task 1. His consistency and performance are setting the tone for a strong campaign in this event.
