Steve;

Looking forward to making history there near Greensboro.

This contest is the farthest east an SPA contest has ever been held north of Florida. Those of you within driving distance, (?? which varies depending on determination), who have ever toyed with the idea of seeing what an SPA contest is like...this inaugural contest is for you. Don't think you have to achieve a high level of "pattern excellence" to fly, and please don't think of yourself as "I'm not good enough", or wonder"will I look silly out there?". All levels of expertise will be there from first-timer to Expert, (we all had our first time at one point). That's what Steve did about two years ago when he appeared at our very first Asheville, NC contest. NOW he is tough competition, and often, (not always) beats me out. We have a good rivalry going.

Now is the time to make your plans, go to the SPA website, study how the maneuvers, are done, (under "DOWNLOADS"), and start to practice. All you really need is the DESIRE to want to fly precision aerobatics, and you're on your way. Steve, or any number of SPA members can answer any question you may have.

Hope to see you there.
