Long Morning

This morning the meeting started at 6:00 am, so we were there by 5:30 am. The winds were fairly slow this morning unless you jumped up real high. There was a four part task called and the task sheet is shown below.


It was a decent flight this morning for all of the Iowa pilots. Some did better than others, and I have gotten mixed reviews on how each of them thought they scored. We will hopefully know scores later tonight. 

I don't really have any more exciting news, but I will post some pictures from last night's opening ceremony and the flight this morning. Somehow they got out of order but I tried to put captions on the ones I thought need some explanation. 










Order of the opening ceremony 





Brad had to find a way to stretch his legs and surprisingly he got his leg on the dash!


Brad's first meal from Papacitas. It was massive!

This is a medium and a large drink at Whataburger. I was pretty shocked by how big the sizes were. It seemed like a medium was the same size as a large back home. 

Happy hour before the opening ceremonies





The oaths that were spoken by the officials and competitors.

Last year's champion






This is Bill Busey. He is a Texan pilot that is on the board. 











At the first target, this is Todd's drop. I just got the person taking their first step away










This was the first target. The person in the yellow was marking Brad's drop.
