In the two categories of the competition, the best 8 teams in Europe clashed, bringing victories to Russia (SLI) and Lithuania-Sweden (Goonz?).

The competition took place on standard PCs. The task for the two-man teams in each case was to shoot down two of the opponent's fighter jets in machine gun air combat.

The interesting thing about the competition is that in addition to the many “civilian” competitors, the MH59 from Kecskemét went to war. Pilots of Szentgyörgyi Dezső Air Base MiG-29 and Gripen (MH59), as well as the Swedish Air Force Gripen (212 sqn.), Who took 5th and 7th place, respectively.
