PATTERN FLIERS MAKE SMOOTH PASSES
and another that read
PATTERN FLIERS DO IT WITH PRECISION!

Many of us fondly remember the “good old days” of pattern flying in the 1960s through the 1980s. It seemed that pattern planes were being flown by many club members at most fields and there were contests galore put on by local clubs. The challenge of presenting a sequence of precision maneuvers in front of a set of judges tests one’s ability as a pilot. And a well flown sequence carries its own reward in terms of satisfaction. And then there is the fellowship and camaraderie of the contestants, spectators, and family members.

Well, the good old days are still with us! The Senior Pattern Association has contests around the southeast and as far west as Texas. I invite you to look through the pages on our web site. As you do, check out some of the newsletters and check the contest calendar to see if there is one being held near you. If so, then consider joining us for some of the most fun and challenging flying that you are likely to encounter.

Sincerely,

Jeff Owens
