The day turned out to be a pretty good one. The wind was a little strong at times but the sky was a bit overcast and it stayed cool which made for a good day on the hill.
Don Thomas, Bert Mitchell, Dennis Sherwood, Lorin Reeder and Leonard Bayless all enjoying a little free flight time before the events began.
	Dennis Sherwood launching his Zagi during the event. Dennis once again showed his ability to fly just about anything with wings.
Another good look at the pilots and spectators as the day progressed.
	In between events on the flight line.
A good picture of the flyers as they get ready for the pylon racing.
	This picture is a good example of how much fun slope soaring can be. Taken just before the combat began, you can see how good the weather was as the sun did not pose a big problem for the flyers.
Another good shot of the sky and planes during the combat.
	After all the events were completed, all flyers got a chance to fly at their leisure.
Here we see some planes trying their best at the limbo. It is a little hard to tell, but there is one plane tangling with the ribbon and two others on the ground, one at each end of the poles.
