Augustin Bedek
france
I started flying in 2017, and after the initiation courses I decided to move to the norther alps region to fly more often. Spending most of my free time in the air I bought a BGD Base2 in 2022 and, with the help of local pilots, start XC flying in 2023. I did my first 200Km FAI that year. Always motivated to move to the best flying site to try big triangles, or fly as much as I can on an average day with tricky weather conditions. You will find me on an XC take-off, in the air, or on the side of the road trying to get back to my vehicle after being a little bit too ambitious! I also start the tandem qualification in 2023, to share my passion and the feeling of exploring the mountain from the air.

Onboard with BGD team pilot Augustin Bedek (flying his Breeze). "A fantastic flight from Vallouise with Marion on her Lynx 2. Cloudbase was 5,000m, and we got to fly in some areas where only a few people ever get to fly. Super special!" Plus
