Sportsmanship</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV class=Section1>
<P class=MsoNormal>People can say what they want about the pattern crowd, but
I’ve never experienced anything other than a great group of people welcoming
me 20 years ago, and continuing to show great sportsmanship and
support. That was exemplified this weekend in St Clairsville by
Dave Johnstone our District 4 VP. <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I had the misfortune (and stupidity) of crashing my
airplane in an early morning practice flight of the FAI F pattern when I got
disoriented in the sun low to the ground and was unable to recover prior to
WHAM!! With no back up plane, my contest was
over. Dave Johnstone, the only other guy flying FAI with me this
weekend immediately offered to share his Integral for the remainder of the
contest.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I realize this happens more than not, that someone offers
up an airplane. But seriously, this is a huge gesture. ESPECIALLY
considering that I had just dumb thumbed mine into the ground. Add to
that we were directly competing against one another.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I think it says a lot about the people we fly with and I
certainly felt honored that he trusted me with his airplane. So Dave,
Thank you again. Your gesture made a really bad day a lot better and
allowed me to enjoy the rest of the weekend. And thanks to everyone
that’s done something similar. I’m sure there was some nail biting
involved with each flight (especially going through F with a foreign setup!)
but it was VERY VERY appreciated.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>We “play” in and amongst a great group of people.
Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise…<o:p></o:p></P>
