friday and saturday... world cup competitions... both days were absolutely beautiful... winds back to north 4k mornings building to highest of 17k in the afternoons. 31 fighter pilots showed up at the 8 am pilots meeting eager to fly in the lighter winds and sunshine.
flyers representing california ( north and south ), new york, michigan, quebec, arizona, new mexico, the pacific northwest, and scattered locations near and far had come to play... and play we did... hard... a rare treat it was to fly on a field with 31 other fighter pilots... much less 31 really good ones... with lots of room to maneuver.
by the end of the first day of competition, we were convinced that this was going to come down to a series of dramatic fly-offs for the championship on Saturday. There were 14 ties within the top 5 positions. this was hot!
in a last-ditch effort to secure an overwhelming nfka victory, the northwestguys pulled out all stops and re-scheduled the 4th annual beachfireweenieroasthornitossingalong for that very night. If the weather could not wither their skin and soak their foreign brains, surely the hornitos would warp their senses and dull their small motor skills prior to the finals... but it didn't.
