Bummer.
Thanks to everyone that helped with this event in the past. Luckily, my son Matt and I were able to attend the last DLM. I had a good time, but my son had an EXTREME time there. He was a scribe for Dick Smith for part of a day, and then called for Beavis during his last freestyle round. He will never, ever, forget that.
I really applaud Pat Hartness for hosting this event. I'm especially pleased that he was moving towards making the event a quiet one, by mandating quiet planes. This is the type of encouragement that manufacturers need. I only hope that some other venue picks up this ball and carries it onward.
I am very pleased that the Youth Masters will continue. Matt had just been flying for a few months when he entered the YM last year, and he had a wonderful time. We will most certainly be back this year (and with a better foamie for the informal freestyle event!!!).
Now that I think of it, Matt and I have been to three events at TT in the last year: Joe Nall, the Youth Masters, and the Don Lowe Masters. Everytime was awesome. We have always left there with memories that will last, and with new friendships formed.
