Everyone,
Mark Overmier brought to my attention a couple of weeks ago that the Precision Aerobatics portion of the NATS was listed incorrectly in Model Aviation. I received my copy yesterday and can confirm that they are listed incorrectly as 28-31 Jul 23. Mark Weiss worked with the AMA and we will be working to the schedule below. There are still potential changes to the schedule but the days of 9-14 Jul 23 are locked in.
More will follow as things are finalized.
Regards,
John
