Jim Tichy Memorial Results

'Twas a beautiful day in the Napa Valley, Sunday October 2. The 2nd annual Jim Tichy Memorial Vintage Stunt Contest was held at the Jim Tichy Memorial Circle in Napa, California.

Paul Pomposo won the Jim Tichy Memorial Trophy awarded to the contestant that best exemplifies the Values, Spirit and Pursuit of Excellence that defined Jim Tichy's life.

Here are the rest of the results and a couple of pictures:

We had a great time at the field and at David's birthday party after. I got a burn in the overcast sun, but that was my fault for not wearing any sunscreen.

Here is a link to a bunch of photos from Mike Dirksen

Yes, Mike sent me his link to his wonderful photos of this years event. I put the link on my web page. Mike has a very good camera, his shot are a lot richer and deeper color depth than mine. I'm glad someone else did my job for me.

Sorry I had to Judge and Run, but it was probably worth it overall, it turns out I was needed elsewhere.

That looks like a really fine flying site. Any chance about making a 2 day out of it and adding some more events, or having more contests there? Steve
