I will be there. Flying OTS on Sat and Expert Sunday. Maybe even fly carrier if possible

Dress in layers. Mornings are chilly, but it warms up nicely as the days goes on.

I might get a ringmaster finished for ots

Yes it can get cold. One year I was there, the flying field had patches of ice on it.
But it was nice and toasty by high noon.

Post by: Steve Helmick on January 23, 2018, 06:45:05 PM: I would expect Gary Gingerich will be there, and flying Advanced. I have hopes that somebody will eventually poke at him and make him fly Expert, because he flies plenty well enough. Maybe Randy or Jim would take a sharp stick and accept that assignment? VD~ Steve

Brett, sorry to miss you again, but there's a few more we'll be hitting up this year. Take care of your family, and I hope all is well with you. (Under the circumstances, of course)

Yeah, actually Gary G. flies very respectfully but of course always foregoes appearance points so his scores are somewhat lower than his flying skill would reflect.

Getting him to build something is worse than getting Me to Finish an airplane! <= LL~ LL~
