| Jurgis Kairys will be making preparation for the 2011 WEAF serial contest in Riga and will celebrate „Ultra flight“ decade | 2010-08-19 |
Aerobatic master, creator and organizer of the contest Jurgis Kairys makes preparation for the next year „World Elite Aerobatic Formula“ (WEAF) events. It is planned that in 2011 in Romania and Latvia World Elite Aerobatics will compete according to the contest rules created by Lithuanian pilot. During this year in those countries Jurgis Kairys organizes and demonstrates promotional flights. Organizers are taking experience from it.
The first time World Elite Aerobatics flight contest of „World Elite Aerobatic Formula“ took part at 10-11th of July 2009 in Romania. This contest took part according to the rules „JK Aerobatic Formula“ created by Jurgis Kairys, which were approved by Commission Internationale de Voltige Aerienne (CIVA) and acknowledged by Fédération Aéronautique Internationale(FAI).
Jurgis Kairys says: „I prepared such rules specially that professional pilots could demonstrate the abilities of the plains and use as much personal techniques as they have, in a way that contestants could feel ardor, and spectators could easily get what is going on in the air and could admire the view. During this year we are testing flight spaces, coordinating organizational processes and advertizing future contests“.
At 7-8th of August in Romania seaside called Mamaia, besides Lithuanian pilot, demonstrational „World Elite Aerobatic Formula“ flights were performed by Italian aerobatic champion „Breitling“ contest pilot Francesco Fornabaio and six time world aerobatic champion in female - Russian Svetlana Kapanina.
During Riga‘s feast-day at 21st of August 12 a.m. – 1 a.m. and 6 p.m. – 7 p.m., there will be three pilots: Jurgis Kairys, Svetlana Kapanina and Castor Fantoba, Spanish aerobatic flights champion, who is the winner of the first „World Elite Aerobatic Formula“
Aeronautical contest will take part in Latvia‘s capital for the first time and will be organized at unique place – above Dauguva river at the center of the Riga city.
As Jurgis Kairys says: „There will be no obstacles for Riga‘s residents and city guests to come and see pilots‘ performances. The place is really convenient and especially beautiful. However pilots will have not to forget watchfully observe the flight zone and not to forget about the bridges, which are extended above the river“.
At 21st of August Lithuanian pilot will also remind his famous flights below the bridges.
The epopee of Jurgis Kairys flights below the bridges began at the 4th of July 1996, when he for the first time legally flew below Kaunas Pedestrian bridge (the gap between the bridge and river was just 7 meters) during the National day. After the year, Jurgis repeated the flight at Vilnius and flew below the White Bridge. While meeting the third millennium at the autumn of 1999, he flew below all 10 bridges in Vilnius over the river Neris („The flight of the age“). The cycle was crowned by the upside-down flight called „Ultra flight“ below the Kaunas Pedestrian bridge at the year of 2000.
Jurgis recalls „Ultra flight“: „With this upside-down flight I wanted to announce to the world that Lithuania is already free and that we live here as we want to“.
10 years anniversary of the first legal flight with upside-down plain below the bridge will be marked by the first time flight above the bridge of Dauguva river.
