This was a very fun contest! I never thought that Gee Bee racing would add to a pattern contest, and even though I couldn't fly one, cuz I fly Mode 4, I got to do a lot of the releasing of planes. Was a huge blast watching the carnage. And a bunch of laughter from everyone watching these guys compete with them!

Chip, I can't thank you enough for putting this all together. You busted your butt to put this all together, and all weekend and it is highly appreciated! Caglia, thanks for everything you did for us bro! The food was great! Your sis and your girlfriend really added to the contest and really helped out a lot. And that is appreciated also!

Leon, thank you and the Bear Mountain Flyers for use of your great facility once again! It's a great site, and great people.

Jim Kimbro, I think the highlight of my whole weekend was watching you fly/call classic pattern. I would come out to the flight line to get the full effect of your "unique" calling. Was awesome to watch and listen to!

What a great time!!!!!!
