How could soaring not make you excited?!
I think that the fact that Jerzy Szemplinski has flown with such
consistency is awesome and not only did he win at Perry but he literally held the contest lead at Mifflin throughout the entire event. If that doesn't make you want to hang around Jerzy and learn a thing or two you are crazy. Nice work Jerzy and you can bet I for one will be following your scores at the worlds. Good luck in the 18meter class at Uvalde. If that wasn't enough excitement for one contest the fact that Chip Garner took a DuckHawk (that literally had under 20 hours on the plane TOTAL and that he personally only had 2 flights in including his practice day) and competed consistently with the a top class group of pilots, going on to claim the top spot (among american pilots) is almost unheard of. There are many challenges to competing in a plane that you don't have a lot of experience with but Chip deserves a hand for that effort and display of skill.Looking forward to Chip flying the DuckHawk at the Open Class Nationals in Minden in a few weeks. Greg Cole also deserves a hand for all of the effort put into the DuckHawk project and for bringing another fun and good performing sailplane to the market! And if somehow all of this isn't enough for you the Concordia just flew yesterday! Look forward to hearing more about the flights of that unique and amazing plane as well. What a great time to be completely addicted to soaring! If the world is wondering how to get more youth/people involved in soaring I think they should start telling them about how much excitement there is going on and tell them it's not unrealistic at all for them to start learning how to fly these machines and working their way straight towards the high performance machines written about above! -Wade |
