Congratulations Marc on you LVL V. It has got to feel great to enter that very exclusive group. I have been attending the Nats more this year than in the past and I am amazed at how well organized it is and how well it is run. Being at the top (director) you would untimely take the blame if things weren't up to snuff so you deserve to receive the praise for you and your staff for a job well done. Keep up the good work (or should I say great volunteerism).

George made comments about it, the humidity has not even been that bad, but George comes from that "dry heat". Mike Smith has been flying great, Daryl and Mike Fox too, whats new right? The weekend had one pretty tough day, Saturday, and one of the most gorgeous days you could imgine Sunday. HL went very well, nine rounds there, and 2M had good weather too. As has been noted, yesterday was a tough day, high overcast, a few drops of rain, and the wind blew solid and steady. We missed the rain yesterday even though we had a few showers around us and a few drops on the field, but today looks rough rain wise. Hopefully it holds, but as I type this, it is raining now. For me, this has been a one of kind Nats, and one of the toughest I have had. When I take vacation, I am really not on vacation, and this week has been very busy business wise. I did finish my Level V Sunday with a great XC flight that went textbook, nothing lower than 1600 and as high as 2400, we could have kept going for a long time I think if that need to land to finish the task had not been in there. Ask Jim Deck about the trip. I am sure that more is to come from folks, will have more to say later myself. Marc Gellart Nats Event Director RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
