November District 2 Update
Who would have thought we could schedule a pattern contest in mid-November and have 21 pilots show up? It happened! There is a growing interest in D2 and the fall Green Sea contest proved it. I must thank George for organizing the contest and stepping out as CD. He has been in District for less than a year and had no idea of the support he could expect. George, I hope you were pleasantly surprised. District two truly has some great people that are willing to support the sport of pattern flying. Every time I look at the listing of pilots in the various classes from a contest I smile when I see the number of pilots in Sportsman and Intermediate. Let’s keep it going. We have a great bunch of new pilots who are serious about their flying. If you don’t believe it just ask one. They all have a goal to compete, get better and move up. Perhaps next year the district should honor the most improved pilot. (District 2 pilot group vote)
I’m not going into great details as far as the recent contest only the high points. Buff has already posted the contest results. Take a look on this site. Great job Buff. Some of high points include presentation of the District trophies and fellowship award, appointment of POC for 2010 judging clinic (Dale Arnold great job stepping forward although I thought I did see someone in back of you) and finally the sad realization the 2009 flying season has come and gone. I myself certainly had a great year just being with all of you. Everyone has so much to contribute in our district. Keep an eye on the District 2 KFactor column. I expect to feature several articles with subjects such as equipment needed, coaching, practice, rules and general district information. These articles will be submitted by D2 members. I certainly appreciate the help. The District 2 column should not be boring.
What does everyone in District 2 want for Christmas? I’m trying to get in contact with the guy who lives at the North Pole for a little help with everyone’s list. Let’s make sure we all get that special item for next year’s flying season NOT A LUMP OF COAL!
