I will give you discussion. He is the best Advanced pilot I have ever seen. He flies with the style and pace that you see in the Invitational pilots. In a couple of years that is the class he will be flying at the shootout.

I agree, SEG is a talented pilot and a fine young man. He will be at the top of the sport soon enough.

However, he is still a mid-pubescent teenager and has momentary lapses of judgement caused by excessive testosterone (Someone should talk to Sweet Sue about this problem). This was clearly demonstrated at the Camarrillo IMAC when he flew his plane off the end of the runway during a downwind( why? ) landing. It took all my skills of persuasion to talk his dad into letting him live.

Good luck at the Shootout SEG!

I'd be shocked if QQ, Jesky, or Jason went to the Shootout. The F3A World Championship starts 1 month later in Argentina. In fact, I'd be pretty disappointed if they went to the Shootout instead of focusing on winning the World's for Team USA!!!
