Total Awards: 1
Default 1 Contest, 1 Dalton, 3 Pilots, 4 wood, WOOD IS GOOD

DJ Noer and Zak West flew up from Callie to compete in the Hutch Bunch IMAC in Witicha Kansas, The airline would not let them check in their 3W Votec 42% and it was too big to be considered carry on, so they needed to fly OPP(Other Pilots Plane). I arrived late Friday and let DJ and Zac fly my Dalton 260. They both asked if they could fly it in the competition and I said no problem.

They got 1.5 practice flights each on friday and was planning on practicing early saturday morning at 7:00 am. I got there at 6:45 and put the plane together. 7:00 nobody there..7:30 8:00...Apparently roads are a little different in Callie than Kansas, because it took them over 1 hour to drive the 5 minutes from the hotel. I accused them of getting lost they said they were looking for OZ(They were saddned when I told them it was only Dorithys Dream).

Anyway By noon sunday my Dalton had burned 3.5 gallons of fuel and earned the following wood:

2nd Unlimited Zak West
1st Intermediate DJ Noerr
2nd Sportsman Dangerous Dan Powell
2nd Freestyle DJ Noerr

like I said this is the story of

1 Contest, 1 Dalton, 4 Wood(Awards), and 3 pilots

WOOD IS GOOD
