Kili20twelve event will now be in 2013
The necessary permits have been secured for the Kili20twelve event, where it is hoped that 120 pilots will fly en masse from the summit of Africa’s highest mountain, Kilimanjaro.
However, after extensive research into every aspect of the project, organisers have decided to move it to February / March 2013.
The weather at this time of year should be more favourable than the initially-planned autumn dates, and it gives participants a year to raise the charity and entry money for the event.
