USA Advanced Team December 2015 Training Camp
The 2016 team gathered in Keystone Heights Florida on 12/18-20 for our first full training camp (after a failed camp attempt 2 weeks prior where a couple pilots spent the weekend watching a low overcast). This time the team was greeted with fabulous weather all weekend. The Floridians were complaining of the cool weather…the Minnesotan was wearing shorts!
We practiced 2 days. All unknowns, though many iterations of the Free Known figures mixed in. Nothing overly challenging about them, just require focus (and keeping the nose up in the roller!) Camp was Gifford, Moyes and Wacker, with Flournoy joining us as well. Good opportunity for Johnny to experience a camp weekend, and for a few of us to start the bonding process. We really hope the rest of the team can make the camps as we move into the new year. Two camps in January.
