I forgot my camera. Sunday was great weather, though a bit of consistent wind would have been nice.

As Scott said, one flier got wet,, but he didnt say anything about the JUDGES that got wet cause he just had to fly, instead of waiting for the rain to stop,, sigh,, Thanks again Scott,,,

Photos...I hope someone posts some also. y1
For those that fly expert at the NATS LEVEL...Watch out. Paul Walkers new Plane is a world beater. VD~ Can't say enough. With only a hand full of flights the plane looks, performs, and has just the right MOJO. Still has an issue of sound. HOWEVER, Paul will find it.
There where some of the best early year flights that I've seen. Here in Portland the weather has been stunt heaven all winter. We are lucky.  #^
The weather on Sunday. 72, winds light and variable sometimes to the extrime 90 change in direction.
3 beginners, 2 Intermediates, 3 advanced, 8 Experts.
ALL and ALL a great contest. Thanks to the NW Fireballs  H^^

I should say that out of all the times I've flown in Portland, this was some of the best weather I've seen. As Scott said, winds light and usually enough to blow out wake turbulence, though it did change direction a lot making judge run around the circle.

And the hot dogs were great! All and all, a very fun contest.

Scott, as any good judge, Leo and I could not see from under the tree, so we stood faithfully by the circle and got drenched,, of course, after my debut judging, some may say that I cant see anyway, but then thats what they get for recruiting me!

Randy, don't start that "prove your love for me" stuff again. 

I either never figured out how to post multiple pictures here with captions or I forgot.  I forget which.
