Magnificent Mountain Men dual World Cup Competition update
Hello FAI Sportsmen,
The attached file is a revised flyer for this year’s MMM 14 round FAI contest July 9 and 10 in Denver.
The revision is a change in address for advanced entries. Marc Sisk had to step aside as the registrar and Mel Gray has
taken on that responsibility. His address is 16255 Gold Creek Dr. Monument CO 80123.
I hope this change is not a problem for you. We are looking forward to seeing you on our outstanding field for
your chance to fly in two world cup events under the blue Colorado sky.
Thermals,
Jerry Murphy
