Yeah.... Most of the stuff I saw (or did) this year was really just High Alpha and aerobatics. Not really 3D, but the speed and trajectory differences are very large.
Was it really 8 years ago when Garland H and Mike K mid-aired? Maybe it was since it was after the 95 JWM.
Caller stress is going up, but with the speed and manuevering differnces, it is not a completely avoidable environment.
