The Cloudbase Foundation today launched an appeal to raise $60,000
for the families of seven paraglider pilots killed in the earthquake that hit
Palu in Indonesia on 28 September.

The 7.5 magnitude earthquake killed at least 2,000 people and left tens of
thousands homeless, with another 5,000 people still missing. The official search
and rescue operation ended today, with the local government saying there was no
more hope for survivors.

The earthquake killed seven paraglider pilots who were staying in a hotel in
Palu that completely collapsed. They were part of a group of 32 pilots who were
in Palu, Sulawesi, for a paragliding competition, the Palu Nomoni XC
Competition.

Palu is close to the flying site of Matantimali in the north of Sulawesi. A
well-known site, Matantimal offers access to a long mountain range of
forest-covered hills that rise to 2,313m. Set between two mountain ranges, the
microclimate is unusually dry for this tropical region and a good flying arena.

This support drive is led by Brett Janaway, who aims to raise $60,000 help the
pilots, families, widows and children of the pilots killed in Palu, and also
support injured and traumatized survivors. Aims to show the local flying
community our support from a worldwide collective of pilots!
