Anyone going to The Lonestar STOL Competition next weekend (March 14th)?

I'm thinking of making the trek down there from Michigan (weather permitting) and am wondering if its worth the trip.

I need to log some flight hours and am really just looking for somewhere fun to fly.

Yes, I will be on my way down from Washington State. It is gonna be a great contest.

Jon, are you announcing or competing?

Looks like a great event, I hope to be there.

I'm gonna head down, should be fun.

I'll be there with the Red Skywagon.... Friday through Sunday. Look me up.

I will be competing in the world's lightest Skywagon!

Sounds like it will be a good time! I'm going to head down Friday if the weather allows.

See you all there

I made it into Colorado Springs yesterday. Easy run to Gainesville today, 30mph tailwinds the whole trip!

IFR?

No, great VFR conditions

Announcing was my primary responsibility, but I am pleased to announce I also pulled down 2nd Place Light Touring!

Are you guys with the 170's all running double puck brakes to get these kinds of stopping distances

I found out about the live streaming thing just in the nick of time, and texted friends all over the country immediately. Great announcing job, overall a pro presentation, especially the slomo replays! It was weirdly fun to watch, with people I know involved, while sitting at home while it sleeted and blew outside.

Jeff Pohl and CC have doubles, I’m still running singles, but lan to upgrade soon.

Hey Jughead,

How was your trip home? Did your 30kt tail winds on the way down show you some love on the way home?

Nice job with the mic!

Once we got clear of OK it was pretty easy trip. TW all the way across Kansas. A little WX in western KS/NE. Calm conditions all the way across WY. TW thru ID/OR/WA.

Wow! You are livin large! WooHooo!

You had me up until "calm in WY". You did a great job Jughead!

It was great seeing everyone there despite the challenging conditions. Doug did an amazing job, I was very impressed by the event overall.

Are they going to post results anywhere?
