Joe,

Lucky you. The Temptations are nice and they have served Peter well. I have been flying for a long time, but just recently got interested in pattern last year. So far I have attended three contests including the one at RCCD. It has been fun. I flew Sportsman and this year I am thinking about moving to Intermediate. Started flying the sequence last fall and in the simulator from time to time during the winter, but it definitely needs more practice.

I will be attending a couple of contests this year, but I have not decided which. I would like to make it to Muncie for the Judging seminar/contest in May. After that, I might make it to the Ohio Classic, Heart of Ohio and RCCD contests. Have not decided yet. I will probably be flying the Angel this season once again.

Maybe when the weather gets a little nice we should get together for a practice session or two. So far, I am the only active pattern flyer at Skymasters so it would be nice to have some company. Maybe we could even rope Peter into one of the sessions as well.
