Niki decided to stop flying in the Dinosaur 2017 after having landing troubles.
While she didn't break anything, there was one free flying pilot with a broken
arm and a competitor with a chipped elbow so far on the first three days. mehr

They got the pilot names on the Flymaster web site and put the task on the
Airtribune web site. So that works now. Can't really see the pilots on the Airtribune site.

Late June was chosen for the competition this year to try to avoid
the sometimes scary overdevelopment they have experienced here later in the
