I cannot write as poetically as Tom, but here it is. XC and F3B weekend was
very different dependent on what you were trying. It was northeast wind
about 10-15 mph and clear on Saturday, the F3B boys and Girls were pretty
happy, they were launching huge and having fun, on the downside of the IAC,
day, but 27 fliers were living the high life in St. Louis.
Jim Fricke from the Kansas City area won the show with a near perfect card.
Thanks Alden, MVSA, and the fliers that came from Kansas, Oklahoma,
Illinois, Missouri, Kentucky, Indiana, and Ohio to OVSS #4 first day.
