I'm going to be there with a full fleet of Wills Wing demo gliders Saturday and Sunday (maybe Friday too).

I'll be competing on Saturday. I hope everyone wants to come mingle with the Sylmar crowd. I'll likely to try bring some new pilots as long as Greblo thinks it will be alright.

Let's show those guys they got nothing on SB pilots!

Hammer is going, maybe Aaron Luckett. You PG pilots are welcome too.

Rolland and Scotty- there's a Guacathon guacamole contest!

Let the carpool discussion commence!

See you there,
