Tto borow a phrase from a fellow poster, I pity the fool who wasn't flying Nostalgia with the DARTS in Dayton today.... Blue skies, mostly light winds, and great to non-existent lift conditions made for a challenging event.
We got in 7 rounds of 10 minute tasks, could have flown much more. The air was such that we had more 10 minutes winners than not - NOT the norm for our Nostalgia events this time of year. No carnage, either; again, NOT the norm. Many flyers went from zeros to heroes in one round (and vice versa (me)). 1 power line (no sparks), 2 off field landings, and one flapping Mirage made for some good entertainment. After a tightly contested event where it seemed everyone had a black mark on their cards, Don Harris showed why he's earned so many Ohio's Cups. He also became the new poster boy for the "Gulf Coaster*" earning commission on at least one sale today and a "modeling" gig for Skybench. Much thanks go out to the Indy flyers that made the tip; we had more out of Dayton flyers than locals - you all made the contest.
