There are several sports that involve hurtling through the air with nothing keeping you up but a strip of canopy, but canopy piloting is surely one of the most exciting for spectators.

This weekend there’ll be a competition involving all types of maneuvering through a course and staying airborne for as long as possible before landing on.

That’s no mean skill, and requires a fair bit of bravery as well as talent.

Friday – Sunday, July 15-17, 9 a.m.-8 p.m., Borodyanka airfield, buses available from metro Svyatoshyn
(Hr 12)
