Welcome to the 7th Baltic Cup competition area! There you will find all information about competition event.
About Baltic Cup:
In 1939, August 13-20 the first Baltic States aviation sports competition initiated by Lithuanians was held in Lithuania. Finnish, Estonian, Latvian, Lithuanian aeromodellers, gliding and aerobatics pilots took part in it. Unfortunately, the war that started 10 days later disrupted plans for the future.
Only in 1989 in Lithuania the second Baltic States aviation sport competition was held. Parachutists, aerobatic and glider pilots from nine Baltic states took part in the event. From 2019 Kaunas County Gliding Club, together with Lithuanian Gliding Sports Federation, ones again organizing the Baltic States gliding competition!
Results:
2019 3th Baltic Cup;
2020 4th Baltic Cup;
2021 5th Baltic Cup;
2022 6th Baltic Cup.
Kaunas County Gliding Club, together with Lithuanian Gliding Sports Federation inviting everybody to 7th Baltic Cup in Pociūnai!
This year, during Baltic cup, the first meeting of Lithuanian retro gliders will take place, where we hope to receive participants from many Lithuanian clubs and guests not only from Latvia or Estonia. Why are hopes so optimistic? Because the event will be like a rehearsal before the traditional (already 51st) International VGC Rally to be held next year in Pociūnai, returning to our airfield after 12 years.
