First Annual Western Pennsylvania Stunt

Sunday July 20, 2003 The Skylarks of Sharon MAC sponsored its frist stunt contest. We were delighted to host competitors from the greater mid-west regions. Fortunately our good weather held and we believe that all who attended had a fine time. One of our members is most proficient in computers and served to tally and average all scores as delivered all in the comfort of his motor home! We offered Profile Stunt and Old Time Stunt without appearence points in either event. We did feature a pilots choice award for the Concours selection and Jim Morway from mid pinsulea Michigan was the winner. Jime did very well in his flying too as you'll soon see!

Bravo!

What a great and thorough report.

I'm really glad to hear you had a fine contest and the weather held out for you. Just sorry I couldn't make it.

Thanks Phil, Patrick, and all others involved. It was a super job for your first event. Sorry we had to pull out before the festivities--had an early meeting this morning and we were looking to get home prior to 00:00 o'clock

See you'uns in a couple weeks up here.

I think we had 20 contestants. More than we thought we would have.
The combination of freindly competition & nice weather made for a great day. It did get a little breazy in the afternoon. I have to say we have a great bunch or stunt flyers here in the eastern mid west. Thank you all for attending.

Next week Phily Flyers contest. The fun starts all over.

Hey Pat! You showed me your fancy camera so why don't I see any pics? You should have a shot of Jim's plane that I missed. You should have something new.
