[NSRCA-discussion] Winds at NATS comparatively speaking

[John Pavlick]

Probably for the same reason that I bought my first brand new Mercedes
during a major recession and my father bought a Cadillac instead of a
high-MPG / "economy" car during the energy crisis in the late '70s: When you
think things through COMPLETELY, you may end up doing something that no one
else is doing. That's usually how I know I've made the RIGHT decision. J

Again this year the winds were stiff for the finals.    I was one of the
judges in the first unknown.    Jason was sixed or seventh in that round.
Everyone was flying "normally" entering the box left to right into the wind.
Jason came up and indicated that he would take off into the wind but then go
immediately into the sequence down wind.   And that is what he did.    First
time I had ever seen anybody do that.    Good strategy.   There was no spin
in the sequence.    Gave him a lot more time between some of the maneuvers
and made the point rolls not so rushed and helped with centering.     After
he was done I wondered why more pilots did not choose that option.

Someone asked me how the winds during the NATS finals compared to the last
Worlds.
See video segment 1:45 seconds into Jason's flightline video, and as Andrew
enters ready box 3.  Great respect for these guys.  Go team USA!
Cheers,
Don
