<DIV>We need more stories like that one. Hahahahahahaha. Wonder if that guy was
ready for F3A. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I think all this serious toned talk about everything we have been talking
about, needs to be shelved. Every one needs to remember a pattern story that
tickles the funny bone and say it out loud. This DL couln't be better
served</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Then there was a guy whose theory was "small is
better" on the Hourglass.... Well, he had this SL1 SMOKIN' through the
pattern, and at that speed, it was apparent we were in for a REAL treat.
I was calling for him....if I recall, the Hourglass was a
mid-entry.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Anyway, he's streaking to
center, pulls to the up angle, NEVER got off the power on the first radius,
and it was TIGHT. I still remember thinking I saw the nose touch the
tail as it went around that corner. He was bound and determined to make
'em all match, so yee HA, that bottom corner was just amazing to
witness. He didn't pop a wing tube, but I remember his retracts pulling
out. They came out about halfway and then snapped back up.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Man, that was glorious to
see....in subsequent flights, the pilot remembered to pull back on the
throttle.</FONT></DIV>
