<div style="text-align: left;">
Hello everyone,</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />It's that time of year again... Time for judging school! The following is from an IAC88 e-mail inviting all chapter 3 members to their Judges school.</div>
<pre style="font-size: 12px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap !important; word-wrap: break-word;">
</pre>
<pre style="font-size: 12px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap !important; word-wrap: break-word;">"IAC Chapter 88 is sponsoring a judges school March 4 & 5, 2017. I would like to invite you to attend this class in Ann Arbor, Michigan. All details concerning this class are listed in the attached J.S. Bulletin. I also attached a copy of the registration form. I thought I send the announcement well in advance of the class date to give everyone sufficient time to make arrangement to attend.
I would appreciate if you would help spread the word within the Chapter 3 membership that this is a great opportunity to become a judge. Please remind everyone about the problems we had last August in Hanover to fill a basic set of 3 judges positions. Thank you.
Any questions concerning the school, please don't hesitate to contact me."

If you are interested in attending please send an e-mail to Hugo hritzenthaler@wowway.com to confirm attendance. He will also be able to provide you with a copy of the Judges School Bulletin and any other important details i.e.: Hotel, agenda etc. The instructor will be Steve Johnson and the school will take place over the weekend of the 4 and 5th of March.<br /><br />
See you there!<br /><br />

<div class="s2" style="line-height: 21px;">

<div class="s2">
<span class="s2">Aerobatics Canada Chapter 3 chose the </span><span class="s2">Saugeen</span><span class="s2"> Municipal Airport in Hanover, Ontario </span><span class="s2">to host</span><span class="s2"> the 2015 Canadian Na</span><span class="s2">tional Aerobatic Championships. </span><span class="s2">The competition</span><span class="s2">, held on August 15</span><span class="s3" style="line-height: 8px; vertical-align: super;">th</span><span class="s2"> and 16</span><span class="s3" style="line-height: 8px; vertical-align: super;">th</span><span class="s2">,</span><span class="s2"> was able to attract pilots from across the </span><span class="s2">country and the United States, </span><span class="s2">as well as Russell </span><span class="s2">Sney</span><span class="s2">d</span><span class="s2"> who decided to leave his day job in Australia for a few weeks to attend. </span></div>
<span class="s2"><br /></span>
<span class="s2">The stars aligned to give reasonably good weather for the contest days, but Friday August 14 (arrival, registration and practice day) proved quite challenging. Thunderstorms moving through southern Ontario, combined with low cloud and low visibility prevented early arrivals, and as a result most contestants got to CYHS but only a few were able to practice in the aerobatic box.</span><span class="s2"> </span><span class="s2">Francois Marquis</span><span class="s2"> and Luc Martineau flew in from the Montreal area as darkness approached after a very long day of fighting weather.</span><span class="s2"> The good thing about all the bad weather was that registration and technical inspections proceeded at a leisurely pace –</span><span class="s2"> allowing newbie registrars Ly</span><span class="s2">nda Hawkins and Elaine Ernewein to learn on the job. Laura </span><span class="s2">Buescher</span><span class="s2"> appeared mid-afternoon and </span><span class="s2">with the help of Carol Granger </span><span class="s2">took over the arduous task of arranging the paperwork. Most people simply do not realize how important this job is, and contest officials al</span><span class="s2">ways sigh with relief when these ladies appear</span><span class="s2">.</span></div>
<div class="s2" style="line-height: 21px;">

<div class="s2" style="line-height: 21px;">
<span class="s2">The contest’s starter </span><span class="s2">Hella</span><span class="s2"> </span><span class="s2">Comat</span><span class="s2">,</span><span class="s2"> and </span><span class="s2">judge </span><span class="s2">Chris Pulley </span><span class="s2">drove to the airport instead of flying </span><span class="s2">because of unscheduled engine overhauls</span><span class="s2"> on their airplanes</span><span class="s2">. </span><span class="s2">Several Chapter 3 members were also unable to attend due to maintenance issues, and contest organizers were worried attendance might be very low. However, Saturday morning’s 0800 briefing showed 17 competitors ready to fly. COPA director Phil Englishman </span><span class="s2">injured his ankle at Oshkosh but hobbled on as contest director and welcomed everyone. </span><span class="s2">Carole </span><span class="s2">Holyk</span><span class="s2">, Canada’s CIVA delegate and FAI judge, acted as Chief J</span><span class="s2">udge and along with Chris</span><span class="s2">, conducted the briefing. </span><span class="s2">Boundary judges, assistant judges and recorder positions were assigned to work for Sandy </span><span class="s2">Langworthy</span><span class="s2">, Wayne </span><span class="s2">Buescher</span><span class="s2"> (</span><span class="s2">IAC </span><span class="s2">judges from Michigan IAC Chapter 88) and Canadian judge Chris Pulley.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="s2" style="line-height: 21px;">
<span class="s2">When flying resumed </span><span class="s2">we were able to finish all the </span><span class="s2">K</span><span class="s2">nowns </span><span class="s2">and the Intermediate Free before we had to stop for the banquet. </span><span class="s2">First-time competitor </span><span class="s2">Zan</span><span class="s2"> Li of Toronto flying a </span><span class="s2">Decathalon</span><span class="s2"> was the only Primary contestant; and contest rules mandate a minimum of 2 pilots</span><span class="s2"> per category</span><span class="s2">. Officials needed a volunteer to fly against </span><span class="s2">Zan</span><span class="s2"> so that she would </span><span class="s2">be able to compete</span><span class="s2">. Dan Unger</span><span class="s2">, who had no idea what the Primary sequence even looked like,</span><span class="s2"> stepped up to the plate to help out</span><span class="s2"> and didn’t embarrass</span><span class="s2"> himself too much! Thank you</span><span class="s2">Dan.</span><span class="s2"> </span><span class="s2">The Unknowns were handed out to Intermediate and Advanced pilots, and as usual, this put a damper on late-night partying!</span><br />
<span class="s2"><br /></span></div>
<div class="s2" style="line-height: 21px;">
<span class="s2">Fog greeted u</span><span class="s2">s Sunday morning, but went away by the time we started flying and weather was not a factor for the rest of the day. </span><span class="s2">Adam </span><span class="s2">MacCabe</span><span class="s2">, apprentice Aircraft Maintenance Engineer, came to the competition with his tools and spare parts to help with the technical inspections and was prepared for just about anything! His assistance was needed when one of the Pitts had a tire go flat while sitting at the fuel pumps. He was able to install one of the new tubes he had brought (just-in-case…) and keep the </span><span class="s2">plane flying. Adam and his girlfriend Tracy spent the rest of their time out on the boundary judge chairs.</span></div>
<div class="s2" style="line-height: 21px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="s2" style="line-height: 21px;">
<span class="s2">T</span><span class="s2">he remaining Free flights were done by 1100 and then the entertainment began with the Unknowns. These sequences are designed to be challenging (read “confusing”) as the pilots have never seen them and are not allowed to practice before they fly them. As soon as they are given out the affected pilots start to study</span><span class="s2"> and strategize and lo</span><span class="s2">se sleep! The potential for mistakes and/or penalties is huge! </span><span class="s2">The Advanced pilots (Andy Ernewein – Guelph ON – Pitt S1S; Chris Napier – Georgetown Indiana – </span><span class="s2">Panzl</span><span class="s2"> S-330; Scott McMaster – Rockton ON – One Design; Hugo </span><span class="s2">Ritzenthaler</span><span class="s2"> – Rochester Hills Michigan –</span><span class="s2"> Pitts S1E) </span><span class="s2">flights went well </span><span class="s2">with very few “zero” maneuver scores, </span><span class="s2">and the contest finished at 1300. </span></div>
<div class="s2" style="line-height: 21px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="s2" style="line-height: 21px;">
<span class="s2">Scoring was handled by veteran computer wizard Elaine Ernewein </span><span class="s2">(assisted by Lynda Hawkins) </span><span class="s2">and the results posted by 1330</span><span class="s2">. The</span><span class="s2"> awards</span><span class="s2"> </span><span class="s2">were completed by 1500 as the </span><span class="s2">Ameri</span><span class="s2">can contestants had to depart by that time in order to appease US custom</span><span class="s2">s</span><span class="s2">/border</span><span class="s2"> officials. </span><span class="s2">Pat </span><span class="s2">Rebbetoy</span><span class="s2">, who is the chapter’s behind-the-scenes organizer and guy who gets everything done,</span><span class="s2"> was starter on Sunday and </span><span class="s2">led the clean-up crew (of never-enough people) removing box markers and the judges line equipment.</span><span class="s2"></span></div>

<span style="color: white; font-size: x-small;">Hi all,</span><br />
<div>
<span style="color: white; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white; font-size: x-small;">We know it's a little last minute, but we will be hosting a practice /critique day this Sunday August 9th at the tillsonburg airport. For those who are interested it will begin Sunday morning around 10am and will go until we're finished burning gas... </span><br />
<span style="color: white; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">For food planning purposes, there will be a restaurant on-site providing breakfast and or lunch. </span><span style="font-size: x-small;">If you are planning on driving down to watch, help out or to judge, it may also be a good idea to bring your own lawn chairs. This is more important for those interested in judging/critiquing. </span><span style="font-size: x-small;">Below, we have included a list for all pilots planning on flying in to participate. Also, if you plan on showing up later in the day be sure to read the NOTAM, or... if you're like most of us, plan your circuit to the SOUTH side of the field. The box is located on the north of the airport and it will be active as of 10 am on Sunday morning. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: white;">Things to bring include a spare handheld radio ( if you have one), copies of the sequence you wish to fly (for critiquing purposes bring at least 5 copies of b and c forms), and all documents and logs required for an IAC contest. If you are not familiar with IAC contests, just do a quick search for IAC contest checklist.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: white;">If there are any questions feel free to ask. Hope to see everyone on Sunday.</span></span></div>

The 2015 Canadian National Aerobatic Championships will be hosted in Hanover, Ontario August 15 and 16th, 2015 at the Hanover/ Saugeen Municipal Airport (CYHS). Practice and registration will be on August 14th. We look forward to Primary, Sportsman, Intermediate, Advanced and Unlimited power categories.<br />
<br />
Contest entry fee: $125<br />
Hangars: $10 per night<br />
Contest Director: Phil Englishman<br />
<br />
The official contest hotel is the Best Western in Walkerton. Rooms have been set aside for us at a special rate of $139 plus tax per night. This rate is well below their regular rate. The rooms will be held under the name Phil Englishman on behalf of the Aerobatic competition. You can contact the hotel directly at 226-436-3030 or 1-855-436-3030 and tell them that you are with the aerobatic event. The rooms are excellent, clean, include breakfast and they have a pool and exercise room. If you've never stayed in Hanover or Walkerton, this hotel is by far the best option. The are several other "rustic" options available.<br />
<br />
We will be posting more information, pre-registration links and box photos soon. For any urgent questions feel free to contact us at aerobaticscanada.ch3@gmail.com.<br />
<br />
That's all for now!</div>

He recently went through his archives and found 13 Aerobatics Canada beer mugs that he arranged to have delivered to the competition. We gave one to each pilot. The mugs are older that some of the contestants! When the rain started on Saturday afternoon, Doreen climbed into the front seat and Gerry flew them back to his hangar in Kitchener.

Greetings all,<br /></div>
I hope you are all enjoying your
summer in the sun! Just a friendly reminder to everyone that we will be
having a final Contest Prep meeting on Sunday 20 July 2014 at 1300L.
The location for the meeting is the same as the previous meeting, in the
ground school classroom of the Brantford Flying Club (CYFD). We will
be discussing any loose ends that require tying up for the contest,
securing jobs for volunteers, and answering any final questions that
come up. All are welcome!<br />
<br />For those that have not paid membership dues as of yet, I will be
bringing more membership forms to the meeting. A reminder that dues are
$100 this year.<br /></div>
Cheers,<br />Chapter 3</div>

Hello all!<br /><br />I hope everything is well with each of you. Chapter 3 will be having a meeting on October 20th, 2013 from 1400-1600. We invite each of you to come out as we will be discussing several club issues including critiquing this years contest, and beginning preparations for next years contest (ie: choosing a CD, location, date). The usual club items will also be on the agenda and if you have anything you'd like us to discuss, please reply to this email and let me know so I can add it to the list.<br /><br />The meeting will be held in the ground school room of the Brantford Flight Centre (CYFD). Seeing as we will be at an airport, I invite you all to fly in if you can to have lunch before hand as the airport has a great restaurant on site! Being in Brantford, I am hoping to keep everybody's distance traveled relatively the same to encourage more of you to come out!<br /><br />Looking forward to seeing you on the 20th!<br /><br />Cheers,<br />Chapter 3</div>

Well ladies and gentlemen, another year has come and gone, and so has another Upper Canada Open contest. Firstly, I'd like to apologize for my delay in creating this synopsis, but as you all can relate, life gets in the way sometimes!<br />
<br />
Chapter 3 held our annual contest on the weekend of Aug 24-25 at the Chatham-Kent Airport (CYCK). The weather was absolutely gorgeous. We had temperatures in the mid 20s (mid 70s for our American friends) both days and you couldn't get a sky that was any bluer! This year we had 12 pilots in 11 different aircraft, including 1 first time competitor. <br />
<br />
We'd like to give a huge shout out too all of the Chapter 3 support staff including Pat Rebbetoy, Joy McKinney, Jessica Trushinski, Josh Pegg, Chris Pulley, and Larry and Elaine Ernewein. Without people like them, contests are not possible! We'd also like to thank our American friends that came up to compete and offered any and all assistance they could muster! Thank you very much for all your help!!!<br />
<br />
Our contest director this year was Bill Ludwig. Bill put on a great contest, in a new location, with minimal assistance, a feat that requires great patience and determination. Bill also flew in the contest and placed first in the intermediate category. Way to go Bill and thanks for all your hard work, without it, we wouldn't of had such a success!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;">The
contest ran smoothly thanks to help of Deb Laforet, Joy McKinney,
Jessica Trushinski, Carol Granger and Elaine Ernewein who ran the registration, program
coordination and scoring from the terminal of the Chatham Airport. The Chief Judge for the contest, Carole Holyk, was supported by a panel of American and Canadian judges
including Sandy Langworthy, Hugo Ritzenthaler, Jeff Granger, Larry Ernewein and Chris Pulley. Our starter Pat Rebbetoy kept the
contest rolling at a non-stop pace throughout the entire weekend.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;">There is one more group we have to thank, and that is the staff at the Chatham-Kent airport, and all of the generous people in Chatham that donated their time, hangar space, and facilities. Without all of these folks, the contest would've certainly suffered for it! Thank you thank you thank you!!!! </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;">Below is a link to the IAC website with the results from the contest. Thank you to all the pilots that came out to compete, and congratulations to all competitors that placed in this year.</span></span></span><br />

Hi everyone,<br />
<br />
For those planning on attending the 2013 Upper Canada Open hosted in Chatham ON (CYCK), we have selected an official contest hotel. The hotel will be the Holiday Inn Express located just up the road. The hotel website can be found at: <a href="http://www.ihg.com/holidayinnexpress/hotels/us/en/chatham/xcmtm/hoteldetail">http://www.ihg.com/holidayinnexpress/hotels/us/en/chatham/xcmtm/hoteldetail</a><br />
At this time we are still working on a price. Details will be posted shortly.<br />
<br />
We have also arranged hangar space for everyone planning on attending. Space will be available for $10 / night.<br />
<br />
If you have any questions regarding the contest, hotel or hangar space please contact Bill Ludwig at pittss1tpilot@hotmail.com<br />

Looking forward to seeing everyone soon!<br />

<br />
I just wanted to take a minute and introduce myself! My name is Josh Pegg and I am the new Aerobatics Canada, Chapter 3 club president. I am looking forward to keeping all this awesome momentum going that Mike and the team have started since we got up and running again in 2011.<br />
<br />
I'd like to thank Mike for his contributions to the club over the last 2 years and wish him all the best on his next adventure out west!<br />
<br />
I am really looking forward to keeping the attitude unusual in this part of the country and hopefully link the western club with ours in the hopes of maybe holding a national contest at some point in the future.<br />
<br />
Fly safe. Fly smart.<br />
Josh Pegg<br />
President<br />
