The last two flights of finals brought on a change in venue. The venue was moved to center stage in order to facilitate spectators. Bill Cunningham did a jet demo which really resounded well with the young spectators. The wind picked up dramatically as well, adding to the challenge.

You can see the planes all pointing NORTH which is the way the wind was blowing. If felt very strong on the ground so the planes were lined up to keep them from blowing sideways. I did have the opportunity to fly Unknown warm-up flight 1 and Chris Gini flew Unknown warmup flight 2.

Masters awards were presented at this time as well. Congratulations to all the Masters finalists.
