Just returned from the Air Sailing Regional Contest and wanted to say THANKS to all that made it happen. First time at Air Sailing and the facilities, people etc are fantastic and should be on everyone's list of place to fly and visit.

The soaring conditions were challenging along with dealing with the TFR's and smoky conditions. JJ Sinclair did a great job forecasting the weather and setting tasks that got us around the restrictions.

The Air Force fleet was there and all pilots appeared to a good time and flew real well.

Anyone looking to flying a great area and low key, stress free regional competition should consider attending this annual event

Like Ron I am a UT guy and have been to Air Sailing a few times. Low stress and casual (For a contest) is spot on. Plus, Soaring the Sierra Nevada's should be on everyone's list if you have never done it. Great people and a great (Although sometimes dusty) facility.
