USA F1B Team
Roger,
I've got a few calls inquiring what happens yesterday at the F1B evening flyoff and who are on the team. A short notice on SEN would illuminate the uninformed.
I also would like to thank you, Chris and the support staff did an excellent job in running the finals.
As the saying - the winner gets a weak in Mongolia, the runner up two weeks, and so on.

(Not sure who Chris is .... But Norm, Jon, Mike, Lindy and a whole lot more did a great job running the event)

Question from Perth
Hi Roger,
I have been following the USA team trial process in SEN News and am wondering what happened in F1B where many of the top fliers seem to have pulled out after a couple of rounds in the second event. Can you shed any light on it?
Many Thanks,
Paul Rossiter - Perth, Oz

Because of the weather pattern and the desire to complete the event on the reserve day we flew the flyoff before all
rounds were completed. We then flew the remaining 2 F1B rounds. Because 3 people did 10 minutes some figured they had no chance of winning so did not fly. While this was the case it was a little unwise as one of the 3 was close on one round.
We did not show the times that those people scored as they did not complete he regular rounds. One or two people dropped a round the day before when we were doing the 150 second rounds and did not fly at all on the reserve date. We had to fly 150 second rounds because the wind was across the lake (not a usual direction) towards a highway with a 75mph speed limit.
AA was a little unlucky as it was reported (I did not see it ) that he stalled a little in the FO and went oos at 9 mins something close to the ground in haze.
Blake was a little lucky as he D/T at 9 mins and took 75 seconds to come down . He needs a new timer in that airplane !
Earlier in the week early morning air was unhelpful but on this day and F1C day it was not the case and people made 10 mins.

Personal Thanks
At the recent USA Team selection, I was the Head Jurist for all days. Other jury members rotated depending on what class was flying, they were:
Paul Crowley
Blake Jensen
Andrew Barron
Jim Parker
Gil Morris
Faust Parker
Matt Gewain
Mike Roberts
I would like to thank you guys for helping me by providing lots of ideas, wisdom and support to help run this event and make some very hard decisions in difficult conditions with the wind blowing from some unexpected directions. The team is great bunch of guys who will do the USA proud in Mongolia.
and finally special thanks to Mike Roberts for that special custom coffee from Sbux at 7 AM every day, It takes a guy from Seattle to understand...
