</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Previously on How the WC’s turn: Kevin got cake, Joseph flew well, CPLR got high scores, wind blue, rain fell, dogs barked. </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Tonights Episode: Team USA flying strong!</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">We have Blue Sky!!! I even have a photo to prove it! I think the organizers are finally learning what the weather is like here in Argentina. From 5am – 9am it’s beautiful! Then it turns to ... well, it turns bad.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">We started earlier than normal in an effort to finish up the final round of the preliminaries and still leave time for some practice prior to the Semi-Finals. First flights were at 7:45 with Demo flights starting at 7:15. It was a pretty
sky with puffy clouds. But don’t get too attached to any cloud in particular because if you blinked, it was GONE. Winds aloft were ripping, and the winds on the ground were doing their best to keep up. Winds were from the WSW which is a new direction for
us, left to right pushing in. </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">AC and Andrew are both fans of the early morning practice flight, which with an early start to the contest means a über early trip to go practice. AC and Chuck were on the road at 5:30am and Andrew not long after. Minor issue though,
if you recall from yesterday, we had major rain storms and the practice site was a mud bath. One of the vans got stuck and thankfully there are enough other knuckleheads that get up early to practice to help push them out.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">AC, Andrew and Jason all still needed to fly their final prelim round and like you’ve heard me say over and over…they all put up great flights. Scores though were sort of meh, and as I mentioned yesterday, CPLR scored a 505 on his flight,
so all but a few people dropped this final round as a throw away. </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">We finished up round 4 by 11:50, but scores weren’t going to be posted until 3pm, so it was off to the practice field once again for a few rounds of F-17. By now the winds were quite strong, ranging between 10-14m/s (approx. 20-28mph)
pretty much straight down the runway. It’s survival flying. There was definite concern that flying in these high winds could end the contest for someone. On the rough and muddy grass field, anything shy of a good landing could mean ripping out gear or worse.
The practice site was packed (see the photo of the vans…) as a lot of people “on the bubble” were anxiously putting up F flights in hopes of making the finals cut. </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">By now most of you have seen the results, but if not, check out the main WC home page for the preliminary results. The USA has ALL FOUR… let me repeat that, ALL FOUR of our pilots currently in the top 10. Jason – 4th, Andrew – 5th, Joseph
– 9th, AC – 10th. More over, with no other Junior making the cut for the Semi-Finals, Joseph has secured a repeat title of Jr. World Champion. We’re all extremely proud of him, especially Don. But he’s staying focused on the job ahead which is making the
cut for the finals. </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’ve been watching all of these guys fly for many many years, and have the fun and honor to get to fly with them and compete with them on many occasions. I’m always impressed by their precision, consistency, and most of all, their ability
to handle the wind. Today though I sat with the team from the UK, and several others groups, all of whom are here competing at this world championship level, and watching them marvel at our team’s ability to not only fly in this wind, but execute precision
geometry, maintain pace and rhythm, hold their line and center maneuvers in Extreme wind. It’s a pretty neat thing to be part of.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">After returning from practice, I attended the Team Manager meeting at 6pm to find out the standings and draw the flight order for the Semi’s. The process is simple, 30 pilots (representing 15 countries) will fly 2 rounds of F-17. They
put all the names in a hat and had each country (in alphabetical order) draw a name for each subsequent position.
