Great work! Saw your photo in the IAC mag. There was a while when I was
going up at least five days a week, and twice a day practicing on the
weekends. However, it soon stopped being fun, and started feeling like a
responsibility.
Then, a bunch of us were going to hire a coach to come up and critique, and
I suddenly realized that it was getting too intense, and the fun aspect of
flying acro was going away- it had become a second job.
Now, a bunch of us use the box, and we go out and have fun, and frequently
hook up on those summer evenings and fly formation. Afterwards, we go to one
of our hangars and cook out, have a few beers, and tell stories.
So, I realize how much work and effort go into all of your practice
sessions, and it obviously did pay off! Congrats again, and best wishes in
the future.
Good luck next year!

You'll never know how much I both envy and respect you new guys.

Hehe. I should have mentioned that I also won the "Old Buzzard Award"
which goes to the highest % scoring pilot, power or glider, who is 65
or older. ;-) Nevertheless, I am only an egg.

Hey...congratulations anyway. In this case I should simply say;
"We "older folk" have to stick together" :-))
