<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This year was another awesome contest, as
usual. Bob Pannell, Mark Atwood, Bob's wife Amy, Bob's daughter and
her friend and all of the other great people from the Com-Air
club that came out and gave their time. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Saturday was a late start, due to a low ceiling,
but we had a good time, even waiting for it to clear. By
the end of Sunday I think everyone had 5 flights, except Sportsman got in 6, due
to doubling up the sequences each flight.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The Steak Out and night fly went sweet, with the D5
guys kickin' in to help put on a great show, as usual.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>A special thanks to Bob Pannell who went out of his
way to run to his shop and cut me a new gear plate, when in doing a ceiling
check, I gave my landing gear a test with the brush, short of the
runway. This is why I got hooked on Pattern, it's the people you
meet, you can't beat 'em.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It seem that every contest I see Arch, he brings a
new guy to whip me! I'm starting to take this personal!! Kiddin'
aside, it was great flying with you Paul, and I'm pretty sure we've gotten
another one hooked. It's kinda' embarrassing to get whipped by a guy only
flying the sequence for a week, next year, my friend, next year.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks to all, and I can't wait 'till next year,
