Over the weekend of September 23 and 24, I made my fourth visit to Muncie to fly in the FAC outdoor Championships held at the AMA site and sponsored by the Detroit Cloudbusters. The Cloudbusters put on a great meet and special thanks are owed to Ralph Kuenz who CDÿÿÿ’s the meet. During my second visit to Muncie, in 2004, I made three friends, Harrison Knapp, Norm and Dean Becker at the Outdoor Champs. We flew together again in 2005. At that time we made plans to fly together in 2006. Also this year Jim DeTar made his second trip to Muncie. Al Yunker, who I met last fall at the First Annual 1941 Historical Aircraft Group Flying Aces Contest (sponsored by the Erie Model Aircraft Assn and the CINC himself, Lin Reichel) made the trip from Pittsburgh. That made for a well rounded group of six, which made finding a timer very easy, especially since Dean didnÿÿÿ’t fly but came as support team for his Dad, Norm.
