I just might have to do this one!

What are you going to fly if you go??

[Jeff Pfeifer]

I dunno yet, still looking for a plane I like.

[Jeff Pfeifer]

I have selected my airframe for the event. It will be a Stork 2 Pro X-Tail from SoaringUSA.com with Futaba radio equipment.

Entry deadline is near guys, July 1, I believe. Git-R-Entered fliers!

[jfrickie]

How many have entered Mark?

Where is that specified? Good Lift!

[OVSS Boss]

Under 100, but close I have heard, and you are correct Raschow, there is no entry deadline listed. I thought July 1 was it, ut obviously that is not the case.

Get your room reserved ASAP for the Masters. Football game in town the same weekend. The cheap rooms are already gone.

[jfrickie]

Already got it Dude. Also have a cold one with your name on it!!

Hmmmm.
all the registered pilots seem to be from the USA :) Maybe it should be the USA Soaring Masters.

Contrare KKW, Jo Grini and Vladimir are on that list, sounds kind of worldly to me. Now my geography is kind of rusty, but Norway and Russia seem pretty far away, and from what I know, the Turkish contigent is coming too.

Didn't see JoJo's name in there. I think Gordy has sponsored him for a green card. :) He is almost an honorary US citizen. Vladimir must be checking up on Barry.
We have had Darryl and Gordy sneak into the country to fly in a few of our comps, as well as a couple of Brits and Germans as well.
Hope your comp goes well. Our LSF comp in June was plagued by bad weather.

Rusty? - just a bit! Ukraine is NOT Russia! (ask any Ukrainian, and don't be standing too close when you do!) Good Lift!

[OVSS Boss]

Ya, Ya, could not think of the name of that spot in the world, and my brain runs back to defaults of the cold war era when stuck...

[kkw]

Gotta laugh. When I visited the USA west coast a couple of years back, people used to ask what my accent was. When I told them I was from Australia, I was amazed how many of them asked if that was located in the U.K.

I am sorry that we can be brain dead at times...
