Clover Creek 2008 Live!!!

Clover Creek 2008!

Hello from Clover Creek.

Well we are here and plan to help cover the event for you
all that could not make it.

So far the field is incredible…
There are 2 flight lines practicing like mad.

All the pilots look like they are as polished as can be.
We got a taste of some of the free style yesterday and today.

Remember this is different than the shoot out.

The invitational pilot have to fly free style every day as it is part of their total score.

With this much cash on the line I bet we are set for a real monster of a flying event.

Check back for the up dates.

Bernie

(Hey guys Sleepy here, we have several guys heading down that should be taking tons of pictures and reporting with scores as much as possible, so check back often, we should have new info up as it comes in! FG wishes all the pilots GOOD LUCK! Make each flight count!)

I will be posting updates from the Unlimited flightline throughout the contest.
I believe one pilot from each class will be reporting in this thread so stay tuned.

well, one problem on an otherwise GREAT day. Andrew caught the fence after an untimley flame out. Think he is flying a borrowed plane that Mark had borrowed that lost a stab on Tuesday of Erics.
Bummer but I am sure they will make the most of it.
Another great dinner tonight after the judges and pilots meeting. Thanks for a good airshow/meeting.
Flying 2 sequence knowns in the morning followed by unknowns, then invitationals.
