United States National Aerobatic Champion and US Team pilot Rob Holland won the Gold today in the "Final Freestyle" at the World Championships -- the Four Minute Free as it is known in the USA. Fourteen pilots flew in this final programme of the 28th WAC this morning prior to the huge airshow that was staged at the Chateauroux, France airfield which has served as home for the WAC over the past couple of weeks.
This was Holland's third consecutive victory in this program at which he really excels and scored almost 300 points ahead of the second place pilot, Martin Sonka of the Czech Republic. Holland flew his MXS in the competition after shipping it via cargo aircraft to Europe earlier in the month. Never before has a pilot achieved three victories in a row in this program.
FAI and CIVA medals will be presented tonight during the closing ceremonies and awards banquet. Full results can be found at https://www.civa-results.com.
