UPDATE 2nd SEPTEMBER 2023
21° MEMORIAL “MARIO STOPPANI” – 2/3 SEPTEMBER 2023
CANCELLATION OF FLIGHTS ON THE TOWN OF PISOGNE
The organizing committee of 21 Memorial Mario Stoppani joins the grief of the family of the German girl dispersed in the waters in front of the City of Pisogne following the tragic accident that occurred last night on Lake Iseo.
In accordance with this dramatic event, following a long discussion with the competent authorities, the organizing committee of the event decided to cancel the part flown relative to the City of Pisogne (BS). ELIMAST’s helicopter flights departing from X-Beach are therefore cancelled.
The part of the program related to the municipality of Pisogne not flown (laboratory paper aircraft and children’s readings) will take place regularly as the rest of the event on the municipalities of Lovere and Costa Volpino.
The Municipality of Lovere, Costa Volpino, Pisogne, Lake Basin Authority of Iseo, Endine and Moro, the aeroclub of Sondrio and the ASD Commander Mario Stoppani are close to family in this moment of deep apprehension.
