[NSRCA-discussion] Eglin AFB Contest, 27-28 June - Official Cancellation Notice

[John Pavlick]

This is a first: a Pattern contest cancelled because of wind! I remember flying a Super Kaos 40 at the Oasis contest back in 2004 DURING a Hurricane! What is the world coming to? LOL

Subject: [NSRCA-discussion] Eglin AFB Contest, 27-28 June - Official Cancellation Notice

 

All,

 

I've decided to cancel the pattern contest scheduled for this weekend, 27-28 June, Eglin AFB, FL because of forecast rain and high winds.  The rain is expected to clear up mid-morning on Saturday.  However, after the rain stops, winds are forecast to rise, with gusts (according to Accuweather) exceeding 25 mph.  The forecast wind direction is almost a pure crosswind, making landings very tricky.

 

I apologize for the inconvenience.  Hopefully if you have a motel reservation, you will be able to get a full refund. 

 

 

 

Rob Campbell

Contest Director
