Paragliding in Thailand Activities at Sun & Fun will include: "Penalty Kicks" - soccer goal shooting by Paramotor, Spot landing competitions, Flour bombing, and a very special "Coast Rally & Treasure Hunt." Aircraft and Ultralights will fly a route from Pattaya Airpark along the coast of Jomtien and Pattaya in search of photographic images that they have been given just prior to taking off. Some are easy, and some are hard. The aircraft and crew that spot the most features on the ground will be the winner. No circle-turns are allowed (spotters will be placed on the ground), so aircraft have to look carefully and fly the course along the beach then back to the airport.
Khun Charn's new CAP-10 Trophies will be awarded to the winners of the aviation activities. In addition, there will be a MISS FLY-IN beauty contest and awards presented for the furthest aircraft visitor, the best turned out aircraft, the best designed panel, the best antique aircraft, the best pilot uniform and many other prizes to be announced in due course.
