<div dir="ltr">I agree 100%. Around 10 years ago I had a midair at the Nats. JAS was judging. He was able to determine very fast that my plane was in one piece and the other one lost an elevator. He told me to hold it and let him land. I landed after him. My plane when in a rolling rate that I never seen in my life. I was able to stopped and fly around. Both planes were saved and I flew my back up to complete the round. I will never forget. </div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature">Vicente "Vince" Bortone</div></div>
