This year we are high and dry .... as you remember last year the field had 5 ft of water over it ....

Looks like the weather will be perfect ....

See you there ...

It was the worst of times ..... it was the best of times .....

Saturday .. we had solid 15 mph winds with gusts to 30mph ... everyone flew and no one crashed ... some fancy footwork by some

Sunday .. slight overcast .. no sun to blind .. winds solid 2mph with gusts to 3mph away from the sun ... unbelievably beautiful stuntin weather
