It might be interesting to see which Regional Series titles are in play at the Nationals. Recall that the Nationals is a wild card contest that counts for every one of the regional series contests. 

In Unlimited, there are not many there. Tim Just could improve his already leading position in the Southwest regional.

In Advanced:

We've seen Ephrata Washington earlier this year, when we wrote about the Apple Cup. It's a contest location about as far north and west as you can get in the lower forty-eight. The Fall contest at Ephrata, the Apple Turnover, had reported awesome weather. Says Contest Director Peggy Reidinger, "Not a cloud to be found the entire weekend, and the temperature was perfect."

On the first weekend in September, the IAC Chapter 126 Buffalo Wings hosted their contest at Olean, NY. Winners were:

• Sportsman, Dimitri Cuesta, Pitts S1S
• Intermediate, Chuck Cohen, Extra 300LC
• Advanced, Mark Stewart, Panzl S-330

The following report comes to us from Hella Comat, who competed Advanced at the contest. Take it away, Hella!

Congratulations to the 2014 IAC Open West Champions Jake Carter, Beth Stanton, Cameron Jaxheimer, Sam Mason, and Tim Just.

Reports from the Rebel Regional at Union City, Tennessee are that it was one of the more fun and pleasurable contests in recent experience. Weather was favorable. Lots of great people showed up. There was a whole lot of flying. Food was delicious and abundant. Attitudes were upbeat, moods happy, dispositions positive.

The Kathy Jaffe Challenge has run since 1999 at various places in IAC Chapter 52 territory-- first at Monticello, New York in the Catskill Mountains, then for many years at the Flying-W in Lumberton, New Jersey; one year at Hammonton in southern New Jersey; lately at South Jersey Regional, also in Lumberton, New Jersey. The Flying-W and South Jersey Regional airports are very close together. One year at the Flying-W a beginning competitor flew their Primary sequence, got completely turned around, flew the pattern and and lined up to land at South Jersey.

Kokomo, Indiana is between Indianapolis and Fort Wayne; between Chicago, Illinois and Columbus, Ohio; South of Lake Michigan and the Michigan Mitten. Mid-America IAC Chapter 124 held their contest, the Hoosier Hoedown in Kokomo earlier this month.
