The Tidewater Model Soaring Society (TMSS) held the annual Hardy
Souls Contest New Year's Day. About 20 fliers attended this annual
event which this year did not require much hardiness. The weather
cooperated with the temperature in the 50's, gentle breezes and no
rain. Thermals were abundant, but not always easy stay in contact
with. Of course Luther, Josh and several others had no problem in
making the 8 minute time required for each round of unlimited flying.
Percy Pierce was the CD and decided that there would not be any
landing requirement due to field conditions. The round tasks were set
at 8 minutes for unlimited and 7 minutes for 2 meter. Although the
final scores have not been determined, I am sure there are several ties.
This was my second year of participating in this event and it was
great to see many old acquaintances and put some faces to Internet
correspondents. Nice to see Herk Stokely again after meeting him years
ago at the NATS. Always good to see Josh Glaab, Bill Conkling, John
Moody, Bob Stewart, Reid Roberts, Ed Amaudin, Abram Van Dover (catered
the lunch),Tom Broeski and many others that I simply cannot recall.
Missing in action was Doug Barry. I was looking forward to seeing his
Supra in action.
Great soaring, great fun and great camaraderie. I look forward to
more contests this coming year (as my travel permits).
