Lone Star Contest Recap!

May 17, 2021

Thank you to everyone who participated in our Chapter’s Contest!!  We had a great turnout: 33 competitors and almost that many volunteers and newcomers! We were blessed with beautiful, but windy weather  even though bracketed before and after by rain! Most airplanes left for home Saturday after the contest to beat the rain so the award ceremony was conducted immediately following the flying at the airport. Nonetheless, 37 of us still attended the banquet at The Library and many of those who could, flew their airplanes home and drove back to enjoy the camaraderie, drinks and good food!

We especially thank those who came solely to help run the contest and volunteer.  Without you it would not be possible!  Kathleen Moore, our registrar, and Steff Vidrine, our scorer, spent many hard hours in the back office conducting a smoothly run contest! A big thank you to Mike Plyler’s generous hospitality for donating his hangar and office space for us!

The coveted Belt Buckles went to
