News flash!!!!!!
Pattern in the midwest this year is growing. We had a pattern seminar in Wisconsin two weeks where we had healthy interest by many newbies. We had great attendance from both the Milwaukee contest and the Hearts of Ohio (Columbus) this last weekend.
The D4 vs: D5 Shootout which has evolved into one of the premier pattern events in the US will more than likely reach 50 flyers this weekend at the AMA national flying site in Muncie. At this rate our biggest challenge is becoming how to get in all the rounds to satisfy the ranks.
Pattern here is getting better and the interest level is approaching the old days.
We've put in a real grass roots effort and its nice to see it paying a dividend. Last weekend we had new guys flying Sig Four Stars, Kaos 60's, old T2A's and the like. They seemed to be having a ball.
