9th August 2008. „Fete de Geneve”

Half a million people crowded on the big celebration of Geneva. Everywhere around the lake the roads were closed just the mass was flowing on the streets enjoying the sunny afternoon and the attractions on the side of the lake. Pal and Gabor arrived on a helicopter with the last rays of the sun. They dropped from 1000 meters, opened their gliders and started their spectacular falling dance. The beautiful choreography was rewarded with big applause and ovation by the public. After the sunset huge fireworks put the crown on the day.

„This was our biggest show ever and I have to admit that we were keeping the fingers crossed because of the stress. Pal was hobbling to the helicopter still with his crutches but in the air he was still the same fit like always. J We have received a lot of positive feedback from the audience and we’re glad that our sponsors are more and more satisfied.” Gabor Kezi

Paranoia Acrobatix ,16-19 July – Pal is back!
Sunday, 20 July 2008

The second station of the World Cup Tour was the Paranoia Acrobatix in Zell am See. At this location the competitors have less altitude to perform maneuvers so they have to choose carefully which tricks to put in their program. Gabor also did a new maneuver combination, he finished on the 7th place.

Finally the moment has come: Pal and Gabor jumped out together from a helicopter in the final expression session. This was Pal’s first flight after his accident.

„It was an incredible feeling to be in the air again, to fly with Gabor and to see that the maneuvers still work perfectly after two months stop.” P.T.
