Sorry to hear that I will send a shirt with Jarvis is that will work.

Since we do not have a way to sign up for Old School Masters I will list the guys I know of and get the info to Mike. As of now we have the following confirmed.

Tony F. - Phoenix 7
Richard Verano - Bridi Escape
Jim Kimbro - Silloutte (Jim brought it down today and it still looks and fly's great)
Rusty Van Buren - Super Ceptor
Jon Carter - Phoenix 7
Matt Kimbro - Mirage or Silloutte
Chip Hyde - Phoenix 8

I spoke with Gordon tonight and everything is all set as far as the score sheets go. Please have a copy of the pattern you are planning on flying ready to give to Mike Greer on Friday mid day. We do not want to have to wait until sat morning to try and get everything in the computer. The total K for all 12 manuevers cannot exceed 45. Take off and landing do not count as part of the 12.

Old School is going to start and finish the contest flying first off Sat. Morning, flying from both lines. As soon as your first flight is finished fuel up and head to the other line. I think we can get both rounds done with an hour and move right into Sportsman and intermidiate. We are going to try for a 3rd round Sat. and then 2 more Sunday afternoon for a total of 5 rounds counting the best 3. The scores will be raw unnormalized to decide the winner. Each pilot will call out the next manuever for the judges as well as Starting or Commencing Now (or something similiar) and then Complete. From what I have seen so far you guys will get quite a show. High speed passes and gear shot landings are back lol. We also need some guys that were around back then that are not flying in Old School to Judge. If interested PM me I think this can really be a lot fun all the way around. If you don't PM I still know who you are lol

As for the rumor that Joe Bridi might make it out I am here to tell that is no rumor. I spoke with Joe for a good 15 to 20 minutes today and he sounded incredible. I have a feeling there might might be a few planes with a signature on them before this is over, and keep in mind he will only be here for Sat. (Now for My Story about meeting Joe) I have known and admired Joe ever since I can remember. As a matter of fact my first real memory of flying with anyone but my dad came in 1975 at the El Centro funfly. My dad and I went over since it was only an hour from Yuma and we were blown away that Joe had come out for this event. Anyway since my dad would not let me solo until I was 5 someone had to hold the master box always keeping the button pushed. Since Joe flew single stick as well he offered to give my dad a break. I remember the entire flight with my Lanier comet. I flew while Joe knelt next to me and if I am not mistaken we did a ton of touch and goes as they were what I enjoyed the most. That was 36 years ago last month. In some ways it seems like forever and in others just yesterday. For the longest time after that all I could think about was getting my first Dirty Birdy which arrived just in time for my 5th birthday.

Please keep going with the pre registrations this really helps. I just recieved a text from Mike C letting me know that the San Diego boys are coming in force. At this moment Mike Eberly, Pedro, Steve Dente, and Chris Walker are in for sure. Mike is working on Steve Neu as well since he has a nice and shiny Passport that he flies all the time it only seems fitting.

Kyle Dahl is going to fly Intermidiate as well do the heli demos. My Turbine waver didn't make it in yet and even though I am sure we will get it sorted out next week Kyle and I are going to work up a few minute Heli Plane Demo as a back up. If we have overlooked anything don't hesitate to point it out. The field is in great condition as far as the runway and the grass just keeps getting greener.
