Team USA Brings home the Gold !

Team USA had all four members in the finals. The finals themselves where a bit in debate as the early morning had ferocious winds. 7 of the 10 finalists officially voted to NOT fly due to the conditions…THAT should tell you something. Safety and risk to equipment seemed to be the primary motivators as certainly everyone wanted the opportunity to demonstrate their ability. The vote though had to be unanimous, so, we flew. It seemed completely crazy at first, but as the day wore on, and airplanes continued to land safely, it seemed like the right choice was made, even with the harsh conditions. For the sport, and the spectators, it was quite a show of talent. In the end, we had a new World Champion, an repeating Jr. World Champion, and a FOUR TIME Team World Champion!!! So on to the final results!!!
