I just got off the phone with John Miske. He and his wife Elaine attended the 40th Anniversary of Old Time Stunt Contest which was put on by the Garden State Circle Burners. The contest was held at George Gaydos Memorial Field which is located on Two Bridges Road in Lincoln Park, NJ, where Old Time Stunt started 40 years ago. The GSCB ran Old Time Stunt, phase one (no flaps) and phase two (flapped). They also flew Classic and Beginner Stunt. The Contest Director was Michael Cooper.
John told me that he and Elaine arrived at the field around 10:30 am, and left around 3 pm. The Circle Burners had a reserved parking place close to the flying action, along with two chairs with John and Elaine's names on them! John was delighted to be there, and told Elaine that he wished he could fly one of the OTS airplanes. As you may know, John's mobility was severly restricted by a stroke he suffered in May of 2009. He did manage to get around a little on his walker.
John told me the names of many of the guys who were there; Bob Hunt, Dick Sarpolous, and Windy Urtnowski who built an OTS ship that was raffled off for the club. I didn't take notes, so I don't remember many other names that he mentioned to me. (sorry)
Anyway, John and Elaine Miske were delighted and would love to do it next year! John mentioned that he hoped that it wouldn't be so cool next year.
Circle Burners, you did good! Thank you for a great contest!
