Aerobatfink,
I sent off the article a couple of days ago, when my co-pilot finally stopped finding things she wanted changing. I can't complain; it was her attention to detail that did a lot towards helping us win. I'm good on the big things - like deciding to enter when I'd been flying barely a year (the first time, when we started planning), and thinking of themes, but not so good on detail. So now it depends on Pilot's editor.
Thanks for finding that website; must be new(ish) I think. I don't know of anywhere you read about old entries; wish I did though!
Kermie,
All the details are on their website, which Aerobatfink found. Yes, a long way to come for a trophy, but gives you a good excuse to cross half the world for a holiday doesn't it.
Aerbabe,
If I do the half competition in a helo next year, I might be looking for a photographer, a lightweight one so I can carry full fuel. Utterly impossible for one person to fly and take photos in an R22, unless you have three hands. <img src="eek.gif" border="0"> Anyway Aerbabe, you interested?
