Myself, Gary Hull, Rick Essex and Paul Smith had an excellent carrier flying day in Detroit Sunday 9/9. It was a small intimate gathering but the weather was great at the infamous River Rouge Park control line bowl. The reason for this update is the fact that Marc Warwashana and Lee Ryktarsyk usually take this effort on and enjoy it with us. Well Marc took a direct hit saturday on one of his fingers doing some racing stuff an wound up having two hours of surgery and a couple of pins installed Sunday morning. When we arrived at about 8:30 AM Lee was setting up and took it upon himself to pull off our carrier get together. We all did double duty setting up, timing and tearing down but lee Ryktarsyk deserves a very well done and thank you for his efforts. Paul Smith took a few pictures I think. Marc stopped in for a few minutes, gave us the ugly details and was bandaged half way up his arm.  It looks like recovery will be extended. Well done Detroit and we will see you in May.
Thanks
Wayne

After all these years of high performance carrier engines, you would think Marc would know better.   I hope he didn't do too much damage and will get well soon.   Also say hi to Leon  Ryjtarsyk from the old DOC Holliday.  Carrier is fun.

Ya know, the first picture could have been taken at Brodak's, complete with Rick's ever present stogie.  I had hoped to get there this year, but things being what they are....maybe next year.
