Ahooy all!!

Well not what we wanted today, but can't say we really should complain. Today was windy as ever, just howling from behind and slightly from the left, crazy. It was not a good day for the team, but fortunately not a good day for anyone really. Today really messed up the scores all around as everyone had a good round yesterday on the respective flightlines with now a bad day today, mixing up the normalising quite crazy.

We all put up the best we could today though considering the conditions so we still brough the fight to these lads. It still wasn't pretty however. We got stuck with the strict judges and I was lucky enough to officially be the last pilot on the line of the prelims. A nice long day to lay around getting myself worked up and stressed out. Grrrrr

We got some nice pictures with the entire JR flying squad here which is something I've alwasy dreamt about. That was one of the cooler things that happened today. We got some more coaching from the different judges and folks around and some more new things to ponder over, we're truthfully dreadfully confused right now but hopefully we can still bring alot back to the up and coming F3C pilots of SA.

Well then on to the standing I guess.
I ended up in 30th
Arney 32nd
Jason 36th
South Africa 10th

I can honestly say the level of competition this time around was MUCH higher than Poland, everyone came out here to put up the fight. We can only single out maybe 5 guys which would be considered noobies in the pack. Even these guys on occasion put up some impressive manuevers which was awesome to see.

We did good all, we are happy and so should everyone back home. I would have loved to break the 20's but no doubt the other guys were better, some really great.

Now we rest, get our heartrates back to normal and enjoy what's left to see of the USA.
Salute!
