Default Kudos to Region 10 Fredericksburg Contest Team

It was a blast--for my first contest it was challenging and stressful.
But the good organization and time management made up for the sweat in
the cockpit. I consider the terrain not tiger country, but hostile
Indian territory (historically Comanche). The terrain being noted--I
think there were 18-19 landouts on Tuesday and Wednesday--less later
in the contest. Not one glider was damaged beyond a few nicks--no one
was hurt--and all returned to fly the next day. Enough agri-fields and
ranch runways are out there amongst the rocks and hills.

Great job by the CD, CM, and volunteers of Fault Line Flyers.
Fredericksburg in 2008?
