Precision Landings and practice

Sooooo... is there going to be a "Spot Landing" contest as part of this
year's Alexis Park Inn Aerial Open Pre-Airventure Party?

ONLY if it can be judged from pool side. Jay DOES have his priorities set,
right Jay? g

Welllllll, we can judge the approach from poolside -- but we're gonna need
to take a fence or two down to see the actual landing...

And the problem with that is??? :-) Call Montblack, he'll gladly help
you tear down those pesky landing-view-limiting fences.

A cool development: As part of our airport's absurd "obstruction project"
(they're putting red marker lights on anything that doesn't move, I swear)
they just took down a stand of trees that stood between us and the runways.

Most people would be ****ed -- Mary and I were ecstatic!

Sounds like an ideal place to put a large removable section.

How about a section that operates like a remote control gate?

Get a little remote cam, point it at the approach end of the runway & pipe
the feed to your Inn. Built in entertainment.

Closed circuit TV, and a Big Screen by the pool, to view the touchdown? g

Ask the airport manager if you can paint a big wide stripe across the
runway and set up the cam to sight down the stripe.
Any judging/scoring challenges can be resolved by video replays for a
contribution to the "refreshment" fund.

I've always seen it as dust tape or reflective tape that can be
removed after the spot landing contest.
