sorry to hear about that.. like uvmflier said what happend in upt doesn't define you... a buddy of mine wasn't able to get through the tactical formation flying either. he just had a hard time getting close to the other guys. he trusted his own flying, but didn't trust the other guys, and that can be bad in combat. he didn't have any flying experience before going in, so that made it a little tougher. did you have any flying experience (more than 250 hours) before starting. anyway if you made it that far into upt, then you will be fine at the regionals. good luck.
