LET THE SMACK TALK BEGIN!!

After talking with Ed Alt (D1) and Larry Kauffman (D2), this contest is on. I have been fortunate to be part of several of the D4-D5 shootouts in the past and I can say they are always some of the most fun contests as it becomes a "team" sport for a weekend. When I moved here to Maryland this fall, several of the club members mentioned they would like to have a pattern contest and due to our location it will be perfect for this contest. Most of the pilots in D1 and D2 should be within a 6 hour drive. A few will be more, but most should fall in that area. Myrtle Beach is a little over 6 hours, and NYC is about 4 1/2. Below are some details. The paperwork is on its way in as we speak. The club is about 45 miles south of DC and just north of Lexington Park, MD, home of Pax River NAS. There are MANY hotels and restaurants within 10 miles of the field. Field is well cut grass in a state park and will be open all day Friday, June 18, for practice. More details will follow.
