Thanks to Dave Trible, Sparky and all who helped with the reporting... I didn't realize how much it would suck not being there this year... but this helped... a lot!

Big congrats to everyone for a great showing, especially my buddy Derek who I know wanted it bad, he even practiced a little this year, heh heh. I'd be lying if I didn't have a favorite horse in this race, but that is all air under the wings now. 

Congrats should really go to all the Top 5, who really all put on quite the show, even for those just scoreboard watching... though there is nothing like being there. It almost seemed like the District 5 fix was in with former WC Orestes, and former WC Team member Derek Barry, but there were other champ's on the circle as well, and they obviously haven't lost their touch either.

Another Congrats for yesterday's Advanced hero goes to Dist 5 Mike Waldron (say goodbye to Advanced fella, you have my sympathies!)

So, last but not least of course, special congrats to David Fitzgerald, you done good!

PS: David & Kaz, be sure to hit Randy up for your commission on the next batch of PA 75's.  S?P

Hi Dave,
Great job on the coverage of the Nat's.  Almost like I was there, I really wish I was!  Congrats to all the fliers and to the Champs for a hard fought event.  Like always, the Nat's was very well run with great atendence.

Miss all my friends,
Mike Pratt

Kudos to the two Daves.  Our "buddy-since-his-kid-hood" David Fitz for prevailing over a very talented group of champions and to Dave Trible for almost making me feel just fine for sitting on my a$$ for the week as a long distance voyeur instead of driving cross country to enjoy the heat and humidity for real!

A great big atta-persons to Denny and his team who made it all happen.  A hard job well done by all.

Congrats to all, and thanks to Dave T for the play by play

Derek’s slow motion videos were humbling and fascinating to watch - thanks for doing that

Congratulations David F on another Nats win! Seen it before, you have a great ability to get better all week and with each and every flight.

Congratulations Randy Smith for another win as well, incredibly fitting that PA 75's are back! Thank you for all you have done, and continue to do for the event.

And finally, thank you Dave for the reporting, it was great.

Maybe next year,

Curt
