Default Africa!

Maybe because the local life is hungry lions rather than just angry farmers!

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.

I was the only one to score any points in North America on the 30th with my open class 2 seater...
