I competed last year for the first time and had a great time, even brought back a little silver! The events are quite demanding testing a whole range of skills.
The spirit of the whole event is about meeting and talking to other like minded aviators not to mention those who are not fortunate enough to be able fly i.e. be loaded or in the military.
The black tie do is infamous!
Look forward to meeting all who attend this year,
