Just a quick post to thank the 18 contestants that came and flew with us at the 1st-ever SPA contest here in central NC. We had a wonderful time-weather was great, field was exceptional, competition was close, and the fellowhip was the best of all. We had a lot of old school pattern planes-a lot to "ooh" and "aah" over, including a couple of very nice electric birds. Of course, we also had some fine flying by some 1st class pilots. All results will be posted to the Senior Pattern website in the next couple of days.

For those of you that didn't come-you missed a terrific time. I'm hopeful we can do this again next yearif you didn't make it this year, maybe you can make it in 2010. In the meantime, my thanks for all the contestants who came to this contesthope you all had as much fun as I did....WarpedWing
