Winter / Focus / Fuel

[Dwayne & Nancy]

The NATS have been around the last week in July through the first week
of August since the 1960’s.  This was when they were associated with the
Navy and after the Navy dropped the event and the AMA started doing it
themselves.  I worked a pattern flight line starting in 1969 through
most of the 1970’s except when I was the starter for the Lake Charles
Pylon event and then the Pylon event director for the Dayton Nats.

 I could be wrong but it seems that the Nat's used to be held in mid to
late August when it moved around the country and everyone had there
Nat's at the same time, maybe we could change dates with another group,
think the later date would give a better change us in the North?
 While I'm here I flew about 45 gallons this year, but then gallons are
relative to engine, setup and flying style, I fly probably to slow and
fuel last a long time I fly the advanced pattern 3 times and extra
maneuvers total 20 minutes and use 20 oz. tank and have about 1/3 to 1/4
tank left, 2 stroke, Bolly muffler and conservative throttle.
