<hr>
<p>Here are some photos I took this last summer at SEFLI's Vermont fly-in. Its held
on top of a beautiful mountain. If you live anywhere near the area I highly
encourage you to go next year. I'm afraid I didn't do a very good job of covering
the contest itself (Class A & B sailplane, Class A Oldtimer as I recall), but you
should be able to get an idea of the size and scope of the event. All photos on this
page were taken by my adorable wife, Grace. </p>
