2009 Alaska Air show, Experimental STOL competition at Valdez Alaska

This is the Experimental class competition. At the 2009 "May Day" Valdez air show. There were not as many airplanes in this class as there were in 2008 due to the bad weather the previous days before the competition. The scores are what was posted on http://www.valdezalaska.org/events/flyIn/flyIn.html (as of 05/23/09) Each person had 2 landings and takeoffs, The best landing and takeoff distances were added together and that was their final score. The temperature was in the mid range. And there was not very much wind, at this point in the day. Check my main page for the other airplane class competitions at the 2009 air show.

The doctors say one should have a slim waistline LOL.

all that open would be handy for inspecting the cables and pulleys back there.
