On the October 18, two Spanish pilots Alex Pujol and Xavi Arellano from the Paramotor Barcelona club made one of the largest cross country flights ever made in Spain crossing the country from the south coast to the north in just one day!
Xavi and Alex took at 8.30 am from Zumaya (Gipuzkoa), flew 440 km, 7 h 11’ with two refueling stops and landed in Cubelles (Barcelona).
The first part of the flight was 180 km and 2h 45 min pleasant with calm weather conditions and tail wind, the cruising speed was 65-75 km/h. They set a course to Ustárroz crossing all the Basque Mountains, next to Murillo de Gallego where they landed to get more fuel.
The next goal was Lleida, the Volager paramotor school, where they made the 2nd refueling stop after 170 km. Last leg was the most difficult because of thermal conditions but at around 17.15 they made it to the final goal – Mediterranean coast.
Several colleagues from the Paramotor Barcelona club were waiting for them on the beach at Cubelles, including Armand Rubiella, the boss of Paramotor Barcelona club and their main supporter.
Alex was flying new Ozone Speedster 3 20 and Xavi Ozone Sirocco 2 19.
Congratulations from all the Ozone Team.
