Werner Jacober

Swiss pilot Werner ‘Werni’ Jacober has entered the first FAI triangle flight of 200+ km to be flown on an EN B glider onto XContest.

The 42-year-old father of three started his 212.85 km triangle flight in Fiesch, Switzerland, on 26 June. The ten-and-a-half-hour flight on his Gradient Golden 3 had been planned over endless winter nights, and was, he said, “the flight of my life”.

Details of his flight can be seen here.
