I think Jimmy Hubbardtalked to the "Big Man" upstairsandhe sent down some greatweather. My guess is he had one coming for fixing heavens YS's.
Dennis we missed you too.
Lots of cool things happened at this contest.
We had an old friend Gary who used to fly with us 30 years ago drive all the way from Phoenix Arizona to compete. He flew an old rehabbed Epicure that he converted to electric.
Frankie D. and Bill Gregg bothflew inthe contest. It was the first time for both of them in quite some time. Both flew pretty darn good too.
On Saturday all 4 guys flying in FAIwon a round. They all flew very well. AC Glenn new to our district took a pretty good lead over the field on Sunday during the F pattern. He's an impressive flier and seems to be getting better all the time. I look for him to be a force on the National level from now on.AC isvery determined and willing to do what it takes to go to the highest level. Dave Snow continues to impress with his Contra drive Spark Dynamic. His flying was impeccable. He's flying the best I have ever seen him.
Not everything was ideal because we missed having any showing from some of the cities nearest us. That was a disappointing element. Iunderstand that pattern is a lot of work and its certainly not in everyone's plans. Getting enought people to participate in an event can be hard to do. We really appreciate those who supported the event and hope you'll return again. Those who were unable to make the event we sure hope you canmake it here next year.
Next event is the Weak Signals. I expect an overflow crowd. We're bringing in the troops from our area. Thanks to all and happy flying Mike Mueller
