Gintas Bubiers Director of „Flights Unlimited“ and aerobatic pilot says: “ Riga’s citizens for the first time saw such highly qualified and beautifully performed aerobatic elite masters show. Besides the fact that sky was dark and  it looked like the rain can start any minute, thounsands of people left their houses and went to the shores of Dauguva, which are allocated between the Stonebridge and Vansu, to watch performances of professional aerobatic pilots.  
In the first part of the competition S.Kapanina and C.Fantoba performed 5 obligatory manoeuvres and 3 minutes freestyle programs in the set territory over the river Dauguva.
The pilots were judged by Lithuanian international category judges: Algis Erlickas, Vytautas Armonas, and national category judge Donaldas Bleifertas, results were counted by Vytautas Tautkevičius.
The judges counted the time of flights and gave penalty points for the mistakes made during the obligatory manoeuvres. The freestyle manoeuvres were evaluated not only by the technical performance, but also by the spectaculars view.
In this contest wins the pilot who gets less penalty points. After the first part of FAI WEAF pilot performances S.Kapanina is taking the first place with 25 points and C.Fantoba is the second with 26 points. The pilots will compete with each other for the second time today at 6p.m.-7p.m.
