No I was unfortunate enough to to get an anyrism in my hand and had to have an artery removed. I did fly a soaring contest that weekend but I thought it best not to try flying a 150 mph pylon airplane 20 feet off the deck having those stitches removed just a couple days prior. It's been a busy season so far in spite of the hand issue. I'm proud to say that so far this season I have placed in soaring, IMAC and Pattern. Here in Sac on July 31 I need to place to make my goal.
