I competed in the '93 & '94 National SAFECON's. My hat is off to all the competitors. With the advent of GPS and glass cockpits in GA aircraft, let's hope good old fashion pilot skills never become a lost art! I still put the skills/techniques I learned years ago from my time on the team, to use every day.
I competed in some of the ground events - but not the flying events. Those were for the guys/glas that had been on the team longer >G< I enjoyed the weekends out at the airport practicing thoguh. Great picnic atmosphere, lots of good people, good airplane talk, and good times all the way around.
