That's pretty remarkable. An interesting side observation is that not one of those 45 pilots flew a glider having wingspan less than 18m. In fact, you have to look all the way down to position #61 that day to find a lesser span. I guess if you're going to Africa, you don't take a knife to a gunfight.

The reason for that is probably quite simple: There's no "local life" in these locations, so people are shipping their own glidern to Africa, and almost all gliders shipped there are selflaunchers. Which rarely come with less than 18 meters.
