S.O.A.R. will be having its Turkey Shoot on Sunday, November 7. For those of you reading this that feel the need for just one more contest to wrap up the season, this could be just what you're looking for. We are currently flying at Route 126 and Grove Road, South of Oswego, Illinois and West of Rte 59. We've got the order in for good weather and we've made a special request that it be nationwide so Daryl can flit around and pick up as many pilots as he can cram in that plane of his and ferry them to the contest. Maybe he could borrow one of those airliners they have mothballed out in the desert there,... I mean, really, they're just sitting there, might as well put them to good use. I suppose some of the OVSS'ers could probably drive as well, 'cause by the time Daryl gets down to pick Gordy up and then snags all those East coasters, there probably won't be enough time for him to swing by and pick you up too. Anyway, this will be the legendary format devised by Don Smith in which the task time is derived for each pilot based on several factors such as plane size, construction and the pilots competition level. There are always a few surprising results and some memorable flights. Last year I seem to remember the final round coming down to a Clash of the Titans, When Rich and Jim each had to fly some completely ridiculous long tasks in weather that might easily lead one to stay inside. What the heck, it's soaring, so you know it'll be fun. Hope to see you all there.
