Awards were: Best Paint - Joe Weber Best Firewall Forward - Brad Stone Best Panel and Interior - Mark Langford Best KR - Mark Langford People's Choice - Joe Weber I took 700 pictures (which is how I "remembered" the awards), and will get a web page done sometime in the next week, with captions to detail what went on. I think it was a great time for all. Rob Schmitt flew at least three guys, if not more, one of which was working toward a first flight soon. It was another great Gathering, despite the low turnout due to weather. Charlie Becker gave a very detailed and informative presentation on the certification paperwork to get an Experimental airplane signed off, as well as the Repairman's Certificate. Scott Wick gave an interesting "History of Wicks Aircraft" presentation. One of the things he mentioned was that the US gov't forbid them from making organs in order to conserve wood, so they temporarily went into the aircraft business building wings for some aircraft, as well other war support equipment. There was also a presentation by Stewart Systems paint. I missed that one, given my lack of concern about painting matters. Thanks to Joe Horton and Mark Jones for leaving early, as well as Robert Pesak and Mike Sylvester for not bringing their planes. Otherwise, I surely wouldn't have won Best KR!
