The Stuntathon was a good contest as usual, and I had fun as usual. The above Mike Haverly had been busy with elderly vehicles and elderly relatives, so I told him, "Don't worry about the contest. I'll take care of everything." I didn't, of course. I brought part of the prizes for stunt, but forgot the other events, for example. Mrs. Wescott and the intrepid Skyraiders filled in and everything went smoothly. Turnout was OK on Saturday for Classic and Profile. The aforementioned Mike Haverly brought the wrong fuel jug, and his Freedom 45 only got as far as the overhead eights. On his second flight the engine quit on the first lobe of the clover, and the airplane landed less than two laps later. Ten points for the clover, zero for landing, and no paternity points, right? Dr. Underwood argued on Mike's behalf that the loop was a kill loop, so the landing should count. No official protest was filed.
Dave Royer won Old Time, John Leidle won Classic, and Fred Underwood won Profile.
To my surprise, people showed up to fly carrier. I guess my mind couldn't process this aberration, because I walked through the carrier circle as usual to the bathroom and tripped over a set of many lines.
