Don't forget the Culpepper contest Sept 14-15th. Here are some pictures of the field, it is wide open. We are having regular awards 1st thru 3rd place in each class. NVRC will sponsor awards for the top three senior pilots with the best scores based on their earned percentage of possible total points. Awards will be gift certificates from F3A Unlimited. The cutoff age for senior status will be based on registration. We also will have a raffle for a BJ Craft Monolog 70 Arf courtesy of F3A Unlimited. Come out and join us!

Wes what has happen to you, has your blood thin down when you move from Va. to NC.. Well maybe a lite jacket wouldn't hurt.
It's like any other contest on the east coast from now on, lite jacket in the morning. At least in D2 area.

My Feedback: (9)

JR, yes I actually have to go and buy Hannah a jacket before we head up north.

My Feedback: (45)

And bring a heavier jacket/sweatshirt, just in case the weather is like the D2 contests in the spring, much cooler than predicted. I've learned to always bring something heavier, just in case.

So the other surprise (minor surprise) was Bill Holsten. Bill had been trying literally for the last few contests to make it up, and that he did. It was great seeing Bill back on the contest circuit and we (all of us) thank you for the hospitality of cook out on Saturday evening and sleeping arrangements at the field in his outstanding mobile facitliy. Good seeing Archie and Tara and and Dale. Am pleased to see Kevin right in the mix of it. We had a great time and thanks to Nick and Bill for scoring and line directing. THanks to Culpepper barnstormers (Vince Tobacco showed me a new emblem idea for the club which was very suiting for barn-storming). Although we did not have the time to check out the locale, we flew basically in the middle of a civil war era cavalry encampment adjacent to the famous battle (near the location of the largest cavalry battle of the civil war).

Other goings on were a close look at several Contra units that were on display and /or flown.

Cheers,
Don
