That's out of 112 participants. Someone (who shall remain nameless) at
the US F3K NATS said to me "they have 112 people at a *handlaunch*
contest?" "Yes, (name), handlaunch is popular everywhere else in the
world except the US Nationals".
There's a good reason why 8 (almost 10) of our top pilots went to
Germany instead of the NATS - though it might have been the draught
beer on tap on the field! (When can we get that at Muncie?)
I witnessed quite a few beers, though nothing on tap. You have to bring
your own. BYOB.
Bubba, the number 1 beer connoisseur, was seen clutching a vintage pint
most evenings.
There were also mojitos, wine, cheese, guacamole, hamburgers, brats,
steaks, pork tenderloin, bean casserole, and much more. You just need
to stay more than one day and hang out with the right people. :-)
Voice your opinions to your LSF officials that you would like a 2 day
HL contest and that you will attend. We don't want HL to go the way of
Scale, Scale CC, and soon F3B.
