I spoke with Francesco Rinaldi of
CR Systems
today. He is also the meet director for the 2010 pre-Worlds and
2011 Worlds in
Montecucco, Italy. Franco told me how much he loved flying in Forbes. He and his
wife and daughter live near Lake Como in northern Italy. They very much
appreciated being in the warmth of Forbes.

Franco had not aerotowed before he came to Australia (often the case with
European pilots), so he went with Bill Moyes to Rylstone to get his aerotow sign
off before he came to Forbes. Franco just couldn't believe how great the flying
was in Forbes. He wants to come back next year, quit working so hard, and have
time for himself to fly more. He has been flying since 1976.

Thanks for the generous contribution to the Oz Report also.
