The weather in Colombia seems to be exceptionally good this year for flying, probably influenced by El Niño. 🇨🇴
The FAI triangle record has been broken twice at Roldanillo so far, firstly by Bogdan Bialka 215km and yesterday by Cedar Wright 219km. 7 of the top 10 most valuable flights from Roldanillo were flown this January. Will we see another conqueror this year? 😶🌫️
Edit: We didn't have to wait long and already today 230 km fell by Bogdan again👏 Check daily score in comment! ⤵️
