Well this is it guys.
"Since the Florida Vintage Pattern Association" a chapter of the SPA has been formed, it makes no sense to sit around and wait so we are on the move. We, the elected offiicials are very seriously considering holding an event to include SPA legal airplanes and Ballistic airplanes or as we call them "Historic" airplanes at the RCACF field in Apopka, Florida (Home of the Tangerene Contests).

The event will be a one day event to be held on Friday December 7, 2007 (the day before the Tangerine Pattern Contest). Since many of you are coming to the Tangerine Pattern contest, bring along your SPA/BPA type airplane and come down one day earlier to participate in another part of the famous Tangerine Pattern Contests.

The reason for this notice is ro inquire if this time frame would be worthwhile and if you would support such an event. Years ago, some of you may recall Tangerine pattern was held during the week, Monday through Friday for any of three days, Saturday and Sunday included.
I now ask for your support by replying to this posting if you would seriously consider to participate in this event.

Please advise as I would like to go to the RCACF Board of Directors to get approval and appply for the AMA Samnction. Once we get the apppproval from the Borad of Directors, we will go the SPA and list the contest.

Thank you for reading down to here.
