Olympic Wings, paragliding seminar for cross-country flying, with Bruce Goldsmith and the participation of pilots from all over the world.

It was an incredible week of June with great flying, every day for everyone!

The Olympic Wings team would like to thank each of the pilots for their fantastic cooperation, joyful mood and responsible flying.

A real pleasure to fly together with all of you fine people!

Bruce Goldsmith once again performed excellent, a real inspiration with guiding knowledge. 

XC tips and facts that he shared with the pilots, building their confidence on new design gliders and flight technique!

Theory sessions indoors with digital material and simulations. Equipment check and adgustment, at the meeting point under the trees. Fun rambling and a mixture of really good gliders and gear!

Daily scouting of the gentle giant, the Mount Olympus range, as it became our flying playfield.

Flights from Ossa mountain, crossing the Tembi valley with views of the Aegean sea that ended in the Karya plateau to a great feast and talks of clouds & convergence.

Flights above the Thessaly flatlands, crossing Olympus flights and landings on the beach with a table set next to the sea for another lovely meal.

Pilots from Greece, Belgium, Germany, Luxemburg, Romania, Switzerland, India, Singapore and the US came together and took back home smiles, friends and flying experiences.

Impressive videos amongs the clouds, beautiful pictures of the skies, further the people and nature of early summer life.
