Gentlemen,

Below are the names of the lads in the My Classic Car photo;

purple shirt:  Leroy Polk of Ellijay, GA.

handlebar mustache:  T Michael Jennings of Knoxville, TN.

white shirt:  Ty Marcuuci of Huntsville, AL.

blue shirt:  Bill Gray of Cleveland, TN

yellow shirt:  Tom Morris of Anniston, AL.

Notice in the top photo that Jim Lee also has a handlebar mustache.
Jim is flying his GeeBee Y aircraft in the second photo.  His GeeBee Y is a great beauty and great flying aircraft.  Jim placed 7th in the Expert contest.

Thanks Robert  for posting the photo of the WKSI Control Line Contest.
The WKSI contest had about 30 pilots flying about 50 aircraft.  Only one aircraft was crashed during the two day contest.  Charlie Reeves and Jim Lynch were the CD's.  It is a contest worth attending.


T Michael Jennings
Knoxville, TN

Doc,

Amen!

I'm not much of a control line pilot, and have never competed in any flying events, so I don't get to meet the well known pilots/builders in this hobby/sport. Nice to see names put on the faces, for a change!

Bill
