Gordy,
Now that I know that you have a previous engagement on New Years Day  ;-)
Everyone Else,
The Orlando Buzzards will be having seeded man on man contest on New Years 
Day.  If you are going to be in the area and would like to join us drop me 
an email.  I will need to know your radio channel so we can avoid conflicts.

This is not a sanctioned contest, fly whatever you bring.  Change planes, 
wings, tails or whatever as often as you like.  We'll launch in groups and 
normalize the scores.  Each round you will launch against guys whose scores 
are close to your own.  They are the ones you have to beat in order to move up.

We'll have some food on the field and of course the weather will be a balmy 
70 degrees or so with light winds and scattered puffy clouds floating in a 
sea of blue!  (My forecast is as good as anybody's!)

If you're in Central Florida come on over and join us!  (Walk-ons are 
welcome.  We'll do everything we can to see that you get to fly.)

Rick

Come on and join us!  It can be cold and light snow flurries and we'll be 
flying. Its a lot of fun and you have a chance to claim longest flight of 
the new year as part of the contest.

I was lucky enough to get 'longest flight of the new Millenium' a couple 
of years back.

I won't be going for a win, just need at least 10 pilots to attend for a 
contest 'count' toward finishing off my LSF3.  Bloomington will be the 
first of the three I still need, Dallas Dec 9th will be the second.  Its 
all down hill for me after Dec 9th.  Likely the third will be my defense 
of the title I took from the Australians last Feb, when I show up on their 
field Feb27 for the Heathcoate Cup.

So see you at Bloomington.
Gordy
