SWI1 is down… well done Kurt & Pascal,Eduard Spelterini would be very happy.

But the race is still going on with two more teams aloft…

09.09.2009 0430: Team SUI 1 (Frieden/Witpraechtiger) landed safely

 Kurt Frieden called to report about a safe landing. The two pilots had finished their race across Europe in huge eucalyptus fields within 10 miles from the Atlantic Ocean.
