It’s Time!!! Team USA is packing their bags, loading their crates and scrambling to remember everything we’ll need to succeed in Argentina. We all know that part of winning at any pattern event is preparation and the WC’s is that in spades. The logistics
of traveling with 8 2m Pattern planes in crates, getting lithium 10cell battery packs past TSA and Customs, finding vehicle that will transport 10 people and 8 planes, tools boxes, spare equipment, chargers… well it’s daunting. Finding generators for power,
adapters for power conversion, finding McDonalds for Jason… well, you get the idea.

<div class="">This group has been working for weeks and months to have everything we need for this trip. My point is that winning at this level is more than just great thumbs, these guys are PREPARED. In every sense of the word.</div>

<div class="">We all fly out this weekend on overnight flights to Buenos Aires and have a 5 hour drive down to Villa Gesell on Monday to the contest site. Assuming we have at least some access to wifi, I will do my best to write updates on the "USA F3A World
Championship Team" Facebook page - <a href="https://www.facebook.com/USA-F3A-World-Championship-Team-541836459181879/" class="">https://www.facebook.com/USA-F3A-World-Championship-Team-541836459181879/</a></div>
