Free Distance flying has never been dead but it seems to be really


alive and well this season. Gordon and Hugh's amazing flight from


Minden to Colorado early this year followed by the duo from Caesar


Creek who made it to Blairstown really set the tone for the season.


Kowbell was a general success with 3/4 of us making it over 200


miles. We can only hope that the Dust Devil Dash is as much of a


success as it was last year when Kevin Wayt won the Barringer


Trophy.




Nothing beats the feeling of leaving the airport and saying "self, i


don't know where i'm going but i'm not going back there!"




And maybe you can get Mitsubishi to sponsor the next Kowbell by

providing the appropriate crew cars to each entrant, with the winner

keeping the car:

The Kia Kowbell Klassic might be more alliterative though;^)
