It was a hit one this weekend for the Philly Flyers contest with temps well into the 90's both days. I got at the field around 2pm on Friday. The guys had the field cut as nice as a golf course! I helped them rope off a few places and then the fun started! 3 of us took turns putting up some practice flights. Saturday was filled with Old Time Stunt and Profile at Neshaminy Park. There were a couple casualties on Saturday. Philly Skip waved off a rich running flight. But he did entertain us with a few stunts and the next thing you know he had a lawn dart, and it didn't phase him one bit. He was right back out there completing his two flights. There were no Beginners either day. Intermediate was won by Fred Quedenfeld and Rich Gorrill in 2nd place. Advanced was 1st Shawn Cook 2nd was myself and 3rd was Walt. Shawn put up one pretty pattern that I watch in awe! I tried but I couldn't catch him! Expert was 1st Dan Banjock and 2nd being John Saunders. Hopefully someone will post a picture of the Old Time Stunt results. Somehow I missed that!
Sunday the PAMPA competition was held at Benjamin Rush Park with a great turnout! Again the fields were cut beautifully! Bob Hunt came out and showed us all how it's done as he won Expert! I must say it's mesmerizing watching Bobs solid lines in the sun, his flying is pretty fun to watch too! There was a little bit of wind that concerned a few earthworms at times but no one wrecked! I myself even had the earthworms diving for cover on a few practice flights. There was some great competition going on in all the classes. Intermediate waa won by Rich Martinez, 2nd Fred Q. And 3rd Jack Rosemere. Advanced was a exciting battle to end! I won 1st place, 2nd was Rick Wetzel and 3rd was a new up-and-comer in Advanced Frank Donnelly (congrats Frank!) Expert 1st Bob Hunt 2nd Joe Daly and 3rd Dan Banjock.
I would like to thank all the guys that put together a great contest and I can't wait to do it again next year!
Hopefully Rich Martinez will add a few photos to this, he got sone great shots on Sunday.
