Results from Nationals

October 9th, 2013

IAC15 LogoAnother year down and another great National contest in the books.

IAC Chapter 15 was well represented, and several of our members achieved some fantastic results.

John Ostmeyer came in just behind Craig Gifford for 7th and 8th place in Advanced, which landed John on the U.S. National Advanced Aerobatic team for the first time and put Craig back on the team for another year.

Aaron McCartan won the Intermediate category, and Paul Thomson took home the Sportsman trophy… again!

Well done gentlemen!

IAC Election Voting

August 9th, 2013

Lynn Bowes shared a report from a short emergency meeting in Oshkosh regarding lost ballots from the IAC elections held recently.

Unfortunately, one out of the three boxes containing election ballots has gone missing in the US mail system.

Rather than discount the lost ballots in the vote tally, the decision has been made to hold another election.

The new ballots are being prepared and will be sent out ASAP to all IAC members.

Time will be brief to mark your new ballots and return them to IAC headquarters, so please be prompt in your submission!
