is more gratifying to help put on a contest (even one less than successful) than
it is to win one. I am grateful for the opportunity to serve. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=097295013-24102003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Ref,
Terry's tongue-in-cheek line about judging after his eyesight fails. There is
a certain amount of "vision" that is not needed for judging. An example; As a
judge you do not need to know if the plane is perfectly level when up is
applied. You. as a judge, will see the heading loss. The Pilot has to see
it before it happens and/or fix it during or before the
pull.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=097295013-24102003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>The
pilot has to see the position in the spin rotation to judge and anticipate
when to stop the plane. The judge only has to see if it stopped in the right
place.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
