<DIV><BR></DIV>I've got a better idea for spectator appeal: <BR>How about the
double Weedon performed by Weedon himself in a thong? Tell me we
wouldn't fill the spectator area!! How about it, Tom? I guarantee
I'd enter the contest (even if I'm 600 miles away) , and I further guarantee
that there is no way I could keep my wife from the contest. Just think
of the press and TV coverage!! <BR>Bill Glaze

judging problems as well. Who could judge a Double Weedon performed by Kathy
Ireland in a thong bikini. even if I saw the manuever (big if) I couldn't
downgrade it. We would have to institute severe downgrades for Adonis
Weedon when the shirt comes off and the sun glistens off of that physique of
his.

concur, it was the pattern planes of Mark, and the Klein boys that got me
hooked on pattern. Watching them fly at the local field with the retracts
and smooth flying is what influenced me to get into pattern. <BR>>

short leather mini skirt I am calling Linda! <BR>> <BR>> "Atwood,

the scale aerobatic planes where coming out in mass. <BR>> <BR>> I
remember the first time I took my El Nino, which was considered wide body
at the time (narrow compared to my Rev Pro now) with fixed gear...and
suddenly I was getting a LOT of attention at the field again. It was a
cool looking airplane. (is) The new planes look much more like real
airplanes, and have reclaimed the sex appeal that are old planes once had.

tight jeans and short leather skirts are back in style too. :)

have to say that pattern in D3 is in good shape. We had a total of 15
contests including the District Championships. In addition, I understand

There were 4 new or renewed contests and one that was lost due to their
