Oklahoma Pattern (was Any pattern flying near NE Arkansas?)

[Brian Young]

We have tossed the idea around here in Tulsa, but Ive
been about the only active flier for 3-4 years. This
year it looks like we will have 3-5, I think given the
increased interest in the area and the people involved
one might happen within a year or so. Tulsas about a
3-5 hour drive for most contests I attend, thats where
we would draw from if the timing was right. How far do
most other people drive to a contest?



Maybe OKC can revive one.....
