What has the SSA done for us lately?
As a participant and SSA member I would like to congratulate the SSA and the
two Regional Directors - John Murray and Jim Payne who took the lead in initially proposing this event to commemorate the 100 years of flight .Together with their wives (Linda and Jackie) they stepped up, organized and ran this event over the past several weeks. Participants included many pilots and crews from all over Europe, Australia,South America and every corner of the US. Despite a very unfortuate and tragic accident on day 1, and several legs that could not be flown because of weather the event was an enormous success. The grand finale was all the sailplanes landing on that very hallowed ground at Kitty Hawk where the Wright brothers made their historic flights in 1903. Many SSA members helped all along the way and many SSA chapters hosted the event at airfields along the way . WELL DONE SSA this was an event our organization, and the Directors can be very proud to have sponsored. Ron Clarke (ZA) |
