Hi Roger
Here are my photos from the Sierra Cup and the Kotuku Cup. The Sierra Cup photos also include some AMA action. I love the sight and sound of the big gas birds!

Cheers
“How to win a fly-off?
From: A. N. Archaeologist
If you are the best, piggy back off the second best.
And if you believe in omens, fly at the opening or the closing bell.
But when the line is long, the winner is picked by the thermal goddess herself”.
Found inscribed on a white stone from the remains of a cultic temple in Lost Hills, dated back to the early 21st century. Believed to be a cult that worshiped a heavenly thermal [?] entity by throwing up objects [?] over a time period marked by bells [?]. The role of pigs [?] is a mystery and the line might be the number of worshipers participating in the ceremony.
One possible hypothesis is that the worshiper whose object stayed up the longest won the goddess’ favor. Another is that the winner’s object just evaporated into thin air.
