Ryan and Andrew are definitely good people. Gotta love 'em. Hell, everyone I've ever met in IMAC are great people. Can't beat those nights by the RV's at the NATS BSing...that's some good stuff right there. Wish I could have been there this year.

I heard it was seriously difficult - who ended up winning that particular sequence anyway?

I scribed for that one. 3/4 positive snap opposite 3/4 snap on a down line! Outside loop from the top with 1.5 rolls on the bottom. I think there was somewhere in there with a 1.5 negative snap from upright too. It was pretty crazy. That sequence made me decide to stay in Intermediate forever. I can't afford the planes I would go through trying to fly that sequence.

The sequence committee did a great job on these unknowns (As always!). Ty L. hinted that he wrote this one and it was fun to fly.

I can't wait to fly this one again just for fun. It is a great sequence to use to practice all the snaps that you see in advanced unknowns... 1/2, 3/4, 1-1/2, and lots of point rolls to miss. My call sheet said "start high, real high, and ask permission to enter the atmosphere...LOL"

Thanks Craig.... Yes...I think it was Ty Lyman that wrote the sequence & he helped me tremendously with the Invitationals also. He's a very good sequence writer.

I did have a chuckle on Sunday morning. I was calling the Unknowns for the Judges (one of whom was Ty) & an Advanced pilot (who will remain nameless, but who had been "fed" more than enough "White Russian" the night before) said..."Whomever it was that wrote this sequence needs to get a life instead of devising devious ways to sober Advanced pilots".
