D4/D5 Shootout

[Bill Pritchett]

Larry:
Things started going bad with our planes just before the shootout - Craig 
had a couple flights on my backup Focus just before the contest.  Although 
we fly together all the time, I forget how good he is....... amazing results 
for a borrowed, beat up, backup plane.
That's very cool that Lisa insisted you attend.  My wife, also Lisa, says 
just one thing every time I go flying - "have fun!"
It just doesn't get any better than having a spouse that supports our hobby.
Bill
