NW FAI CHALLENGE 2010
 
 

Well another year has brought flyers from So. Calif. & Washington to compete for a well sought after Pinot Noir from the Willamette Valley. For a change the weather was very kind to us, but due to a restricted flying area it was decided to fly 2 minute rounds or we would have seen many planes landing on the freshly plowed fields. That would have been a hardship for the flyers. Thermals were hard to identify due to the plowed fields on both ends of the flying zone. If we had flown 3 minute rounds the results would have been quite different.   Again Thank you very much for your support of our effort to offer you two contests in the Northwest and hope that we will see you all next year. Any advertising for Oregon contest would be well appreciated. 

To all Max & Win

Pierre

PS. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, to my beloved wife, Sylvia, who so cheerfully spent a full day recording and supporting the flyers.

P.S.S. It was a fun day for me too, I had friends come out to watch you all fly, two hubby’s & three ladies who all thought your flying was very interesting!!!!

That Sympo Picture

The first picture in this year's Sympo of the magnificent classic glider is Arik Donde's of  the 63 year old British glider "Jinx" .  For some reason this year's Sympo does not have photo credits nor does it label the great front piece photo.
