Default Most Landouts in One Day

been more entertaining than crewing for the Fellners.

The first contest I ever flew in was El Mirage. The first Day Dick
Fellner and I landed on Lucerne Dry lake, me in a 1-34 and he in the
Zugvogel. We had flown through the shear line and into no lift. The
next day the first turn was again Big Bear, Dick landed the same place
and I was determined to get past that, which I did, and landed closer
to Silver Springs on the way back from Baker.

I have a lot of Dick Fellner Stories and that could fill another
thread. He and his wife were arguing one day and he went out and
slammed the door to their trailer which latched shut. I was walking
by and I hear this little voice, "help, help" I went over and opened
the door for her and for ever after I was the guy who saved her life.
