Wow!!! All the memories!! I worked one of the pattern lines at the 1981 NATS along with my brother. He was a member of ARCS at the time, and signed me up to work even though I lived in southeast Texas at the time. Dave Brown competed (with a brown and white airplane of course), but he was on my brother's line instead of mine (rats). I do remember one young competitor who flew on my line one day. He was probably about 10-12 years old......Chip Hyde

And yes, it was HOT!!!
