Al Tyler July 11

Left Perry for Rob Ware's farm in Cave Spring Ga. Rob is going to take valuable time away from his farm chores and leave the Town without the service of his Mayoral duties while amid a major water works improvement project. I think he is mainly going to crew for me as he knows this project is reaching completion and when folks get the improved water pressure it's going to blow out all their plumbing!

Ready...Set....

The US Soaring Team that will compete in the 2010 World Gliding Championship in Szeged, Hungary is ready! Four sailplanes shipped and waiting for their crews to pick them up. Two more arranged for, ready and waiting. Our pilots have been practicing and competing all season and have flown very well. Tabery, Willat, Elliott, Kelley, Cochrane and Tyler are ready! We have a great support team in place. Most of us will be traveling to Germany or Belgium this week and then trailering down to Szeged. We should begin informal practice on July 17. Opening Ceremonies July 24. Competition Day One is July 25.

We will do our best to keep you informed via this blog. Thanks to John Godfrey "QT" for setting it up!

Thanks for checking in,

Dennis

Change of Plans

With the birth of our new daughter Nadeen Willat a little earlier than planned, I withdrew from Hobbs and will head to Szeged 3 days earlier to fly. The 22BLE is being retrieved from Binder's having the engine inspected and will be picked up and starts it trip to Szeged this weekend. I hope the weather improves there too. The Flatland cup has had 3 of 4 days canceled so far.
