Andalucian Paramotor Race 2019 organized by Mario de Eolox took place on 9 – 10 February. 28 best pilots from Spain intended to fly a long cross country of 482 km from Huelva to Almeria. All pilots had a ground crew following them and were allowed to land for fueling. OZONE Team pilot Nicolas Aubert flying his Viper 4 and PAP Tinox with Thor 200 managed to make it first to the goal!

Nicolas Aubert reports: “I am very happy to won the Race. I flew total 482 km from Huelva to Almería. It has been one of the hardest flights I have ever made in my life! It took me nearly 9 hours with 3 fuel stops. Total flight time was 6 h 30 min at maximum speed. The last section from Guadix to Almeria was the hardest, I was so tired that my legs were shaking, but at the end we made it! I would like to thank my ground crew: Pierre Aubert and Juan Morillas. I am also grateful for excellent and reliable equipment, PAP paramotor and OZONE Viper 4, fast, good performance and solid glider!”

Congratulations from all OZONE Team!
