Some Chattanooga folks came to fly with us.

Angela getting things ready.

Now that’s good service.

Paula’s been mountain launching for awhile now, but she had her first solo aerotow this weekend. I love the look on a pilot’s face when they reach one of their goals. The next photo is Eric congratulating her on a great flight.

Check back tomorrow for some more photos of the weekend’s activities.

Registration opens for the Santa Cruz Flats Race on Sunday, February 10th at 9 AM Pacific Standard Time (Noon, EST, and 4 AM, Monday, February 11th, AEST, daylight time). The limit is fifty pilots this year and we expect that it will fill up very quickly, so don't miss out.

Registration is at http://goflyxc.com/2008/santacruz.

We also have a limited number of rooms set aside at a special rate at the Francisco Grande Resort. They can be contacted directly at (520) 836-6444. Just mention the Santa Cruz Flats Race and they will give you the discounted rate.

Eight full days of flying. No drop days for scoring - gets too weired. Practice day the 1st at the airport. Prize money on the Spot Landing Contest. Big Spring has superb flying conditions and this year with an eight day meet we'll be able to get in more flying.

Sport and Single Surface competitions in addition to the Open Class. Flex Wing, Sport Class, Rigid and Swift Classes.
