That's not funny! John didn't get much practice, and he didn't know that the black line was THE line. John told me the day before the competition that he was just there to have a good time. He did just that, and under the circumstances, I think that he flew pretty well!
Please don't make a fuss over it. Gernot, Andrew, and a couple other guys 0ed too, so it's not like he was the only one. John, you're a great sport, and I'm glad to know you! Hope you can make it next yeat too! |

LOL. Glad to hear you had a good time John. Seen you fly a couple of times on this site with the live feed they had, you did great.

John flew quite well..
the field was tight.... I could say something like..... Hmmm... He finished ahead of the thread starter... But that wouldn't be nice

I won't pick on "The Rooster." However........ Since he has been on My Face or Spaced-out Book or whatever that thing is with my daughter and her friends, why don't ya'll get him to tell you the story of HOW HE GOT TO TOLEDO!! He needs to be spanked! (John was a flying buddy of Kyle's when he lived next door to Tri-County Barnstormers field a few years ago.) Anyway, maybe next year will be John's year to move WAY up in the standings at ETOC...... He's a lot better pilot than what appeared before you! (Landing his plane on top of the scoreboard was just his way of letting all of you know that he's on TOP of things! LOL!

I met John last year at the Tucson Shootout and he seemed to be a very pleasant young man. Anyone who would like to get out there in front of hundreds of people and show us how its done, you may do so at any time. I sure give him a big thumbs up for having the courage to be there. It is definately not as easy as it looks, especiallyl when you have all those spectators and judges watching your every move. Keep at it and you will continue to progress!

I saw this thread pop up a while ago , and kind of bit my tounge a little and didn't say anything. I've met John a few times and he's a really cool dude. I know Tony Thomasian pretty well , and he was kind of hangin' out with him , Kyle and the rest of the guys. he's a great pilot too , so i don't quite understand the "dig" that the thread starter is saying here. Kind of low blow really....but maybe i'm taking it wrong. Either way , I'm sure John would probably take it lightly , since he knows he could probably smoke the O.P. that started this thread.

It will fly!!!

I will say this. Everyone of the competitors flew great. Just to make the field at the E-TOC means that you are a great pilot. I mean just look at the field.
