Basic Hungarian
From: EDWARD MATE [This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.]

A couple of notes. In Hungarian words you often see sz together. Do not try to pronounce the z. Sz is pronounced like our s, without the z after the s it is pronounced sh. Also Kudoz to the Oakland Cloud Dusters for their Junior recruiting and teaching efforts. Seventy years is a long time. Keep it going! We IMAC'S are 96 years old, I believe the oldest there is. But maybe not for long since we have no Juniors or Seniors in the hanger. Ed Mate

 CDs Chuck Etherington & Bill Lovins

 Flyers from the Western and Midwestern U.S. were on hand to enjoy three  days of beautiful weather at our field east of Denver.  In addition to the  complete menu of FAI events, we also flew all the National Cup events.

 The only flyer to max out in FAI was Don DeLoach in F1J.  On the National  Cup side, both Tim Batiuk and Todd Reynolds maxed out in HLG (Tim with 11  maxes and Todd with 6).  Tim also maxed out in CLG.  Don DeLoach bested a  field of 9 in Classic Towline, maxing out with his Super Talon.  Jim  O’Reilly (winner) and Don DeLoach maxed out in O/T Rubber while Bill  Leppard won P-30 with a maxout.  Much to my delight, Matt Gewain (winner)  and Ed Carroll joined us for F1C making a total of six entries.  Rene  Limberger won F1A, Eddie VanLandingham F1B & F1G, Peter Brocks F1E, Norm  Smith F1H, Don DeLoach Slow Gas Combo & Fast Gas Combo, Jim O'Reilly  Nostalgia Wake/Rubber & Moffett.  In all there were 406 flights posted  with 248 maxes.  This contest continues to grow each year.

 Friday night saw a fine barbecue at Mel and Karen Gray’s clubhouse and  Saturday night we enjoyed a stylish banquet at The Perfect Landing, a  restaurant that overlooks the ramp and runways at Centennial Airport.

 I’d like to thank all who travelled here, participated in and helped with  the contest.  I'd especially like to thank co-CD Bill Lovins for helping  to run the contest and Sue Etherington for volunteering to serve as head  scorekeeper.  See you all next year.
