Well, we ended up at the country club for appearance points. Dark inside. I was going to suggest a picture before the pilot's meeting, but people were milling around inside, still coming, etc. So I thought, why not just announce at the meeting that it would be after? Yeah, sure. It started to rain again during the meeting. Some people went outside, then came back in. Others, when they could, grabbed their planes and ran. Others waited for a more opportune time to dash between the rain drops.
Moral of the story, no picture taken. Maybe we can each submit an individual photo and we can make a collage?

Nope.
The plan is a record of Stuka Stunt Forum members at various meets, as evoked by reading this forum. No picture is simply the result for the 2003 NATS. As it stands, Brodaks is the big win so far.
I am trying to go the other way though. If someone will send me a hi-res master of the Brodaks photo, I'll send everyone indentified in it an Avatar icon suitable for use here of their smiling face.
Between the weather and the lack of interest prior to the event, I'm not surprised.
Perhaps the readers of the Forum who attend the NATS are simply more focused on competition than community.
Which is not a bad thing, just an observation.
We'll try again at VSC 2K4

I believe you are right that the majority of those who attend the Nats are focused on competition. Many of them come from afar, they spend a lot of money to get (and stay) there and it becomes the high point of the competition year. There is a lot of comradrie going on in small groups. For instance, each practice circle has its own little grouop of competitors who share back and forth while waiting for the time of their flight, and we each help each other out. But the focus still is getting ready for the official flights with the intent that each is able to do his best.
