Very cool indeed, well done Milk.

Nice to see a feel good article every once in a while.

More such things should take place in Thailand.  

 

Besides winning races, she can aid in search and rescue, evaluate crops, help put out fires.  Wish her the best of luck.

Let's hope the paper plane champion is strong enough to deal with the news.

Wow can she fly!!!i would love to see her fly one of my 1/4 scale sailplanes I’ll bet she would Injoy it good job you go girl!!!

I had no idea there was such a competition. Very cool!

 

Actually she won the female competition, the overall winner was an Australian.

 

That was incredible. Her composure and skills were inspiring.

 

Having flown FPV racing drones, they take a lot of skill.

 

Congratulations Milk, you should be so proud of your achievements.
