[Steve Kocher]

Here are some photos from the Texarkana Contest this weekend.  The turnout was a bit light, but the weather was great and everyone had a very good time.

Here are a few more.  I took over 700 photos.  It takes a while to go through them and size them for posting.  I'll try to add some more tomorrow.

Tried to post some more pictures Fred Kocher sent me.....no luck. I'll wait 'til he sends some more and maybe try again.

Great gathering, thanks to John Gunn for having it all set up for us, I think this is his 19th year for this contest, he's shooting for twenty.

Each day of flying began with a kettle of cowboy gravy and biscuits with steaming pots of boiled coffee, made one feel like he was out on the trail, ready for anything; dogies, rustlers, saloons, you name it!

Thanks to Judges Terry Tucker and Jason Cunningham, Tabulators Shiela Cranfill and Tamara Jeansonne, "Runner" Doug Patterson and all the helpers.

Well, I did get a picture of David and his ear muffs, which he really enjoys wearing! He was quick to tell me his name isn't Wilbur, Orville or any of those names I tried to place on him...it was "DAVID"!

I really wanted to go.. Woke up Friday AM not feeling real well then discovered the AC in my van wasn't working which put the nail in the coffin so to speak. I really like this contest, hoping for next year..

It was a real "layed back" contest. To me?...It sort of ran itself. John Gunn fed us and showered us with some real high class prizes. I believe the auto fuel prices may of had something to do with the turn out.
 I can't help but share a personal "high-lite" of the contest. My third round flight produced a "40" for inverted flight from both judges. My first ever 40 ; and from both of the judges "to boot!"
