Hi Charles,

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'll fly my twister in super 70's on Sat, and a primary force on Sunday.
I might get a ringmaster finished for ots

It's a fun event.
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.

I am sorry guys, but I just can't make it (for a variety of reasons). I would highly encourage everyone to can make it to go, it's really a fantastic contest.

Very Sorry Brett!

We'll Miss you!

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?

Gary called me this morning, and we just texted. He'll be there.
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!

I am looking forward to battle with Gary G again. Last time we competed Gary beat me by a small margin.

It's 0148 local time, but we made it! A couple hours of sleep, and off to the park in the morning.
