Jon Davis
Hi Roger,
Jim Parker suggested I email you. As you know we're all dealing with the sadness and changes that are here following Jon's death. The flying community meant the world to Jon and I'm sure many others are feeling much like we are. I've had several people ask if there is a charity where they could send a donation in Jon's name. I know that the junior team would be what Jon would have chosen. Would you please let the group know? I've attached Jon's obituary text below which mentions the donation. If you'd like, you can post the obituary or just the info in case someone would like to send a donation. Let me know if you need anything more regarding this.
Thanks,
Margie
DAVIS, JON On January 7, 2013 Jon, age 60, died peacefully at home after a long illness. Jon was an Albuquerque native, graduating from UNM in 1975. He is survived by his wife, Margie, 3 sons Steven Mattern (Grit), Andy Mattern (Aubrey) and Evan Davis (Hayley), grandson Wesley Mattern and three sisters, Sue Davis, Debbie Davis and Sally Cadieux. Jon was predeceased by his parents Charles and Jeanette Davis and his brother James Davis. Jon was the founder of Sunlight Homes and a pioneer in passive solar residential design. He also enjoyed a lifelong interest in free flight model aeronautics. If desired, friends of Jon Davis may contribute to the Outdoor Junior Free Flight Team at the Academy of Model Aeronautics 5161 E. Memorial Dr. Muncie IN 47302, a cause dear to Jon's heart. To those who knew him, Jon wrote, "I have had a wonderful life and I cherish you, my family and friends. You have given me so much and have challenged me and because of that I have grown. I hope I've given you the same. Family and friends are everything and I have loved growing with you and sharing our hearts." A small life celebration will be planned for later this year. Jon, you are loved and will be missed every day.
2013 FAI Southwest Regional Model Airplane Championships
We had a great 63nd SWR on Jan.19 and 20. Both days started out a bit nippy, just above freezing, but as the sun came up it warmed nicely to 75° with clear blue skies. The winds were often nearly calm and never more than 7mph on both days during the rounds. Saturday the wind was coming out of the SE, E. When we had a wind shift with the wind coming out of the NW it required a flight line change for rounds 5-7. On Sunday the wind was mostly out of the E. The fly-offs on both days were later in the day with winds up to 9mph out of the N, NW.
We had a total of 39 sportsmen signed up for the 8 FAI classes. The contestants were from AZ, CA, CT, MI, NV, OH, OK, OR, TX, UT plus our perennial snow-birds from Great Britain (Dave Oldfield F1A, F1H and Mike Woodhouse F1B) and Canadian Peter Allnutt (F1A). We also had 3 ladies flying FAI events, Jasminka Pecenkovic (F1A), Julie Parker (F1Q) and Tiffaney O’Dell (F1G) – and also 2 FAI Juniors, Taron Malkhasyan (F1P) and his brother Sevak (F1B).
On Saturday F1C/P was won by Faust Parker (F1C) with Bob Hanford 2nd and Taron Malkhasyan 3rd (both flying F1P models). F1Q was again won by Bernie Crowe with John Oldenkamp coming in 2nd and Julie Parker in 3rd.The large 15 flyer F1A field had 5 flyers clean after 7 rounds. The F1A fly-off was won by Lee Hines with Ken Bauer 2nd and Mike McKeever 3rd. In F1B 7 contestants had maxed all 7 rounds. The 2nd, 7-min. fly-off was won by Charlie Jones with Walt Ghio in 2nd place and Blake Jensen in 3rd.
On Sunday we flew F1G, F1H and F1J. Faust Parker won the F1J “Bear” with a clean score followed by Glenn Schneider in 2nd and Bob Hanford in 3rd. F1H required a 4-man fly-off which went through 4 fly-off rounds. The 6-min. round was cleanly won by Jim Parker with Lee Hines in 2nd and Dave Oldfield in 3rd place. F1G or Coupe d’Hiver had 2 flyers clean after 5 rounds and required 2 fly-off rounds. Tiffany O’Dell won F1G with Walt Ghio coming in 2nd and Blake Jensen in 3rd place.
A big thank you to all participants and to Elmer Nelson, Hermann Andresen, Tom Gaylor and my wife Brigitte who all made this FAI SWR again a great contest to be remembered.
