| The event was held at Gude Drive field with Dereck Woodward the master of ceremony and Roy Smith CD. It was perfect weather, light winds and sunny skies. Close to 130 people came with just over 30 registered fliers. Participants came from New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and South Carolina and along with the CASA E-crew descended on Gude for a FUN day of E-flying. Thanks to Bert Magin, Denny Maze and Bill Grenoble for supplying the pictures. |
