Alan Place

You can't always be the best - I watched many of the videos from Higher Plane Productions and the guys that placed ahead flew flying styles that were somewhat new and different. I wasn't there, but he may have had a bad round or so,
That is what competition is about.

Alan's flying now is in the top of the 3D world. He is flying lower and more precise then everyone else. I just dont undertand his 6th place finish.
My two cents.

Luis,

Thanks for the kind words. At this level I think the skill required for world class 3D is comparable to what a PGA pro needs to be competitive. That said, even Tiger doesn't win or even place in the top 10 in every tournament he enters.

I won't comment on who placed where and why. It just doesn't make any sense to. If one didn't sit in the judges seat and intently watch every single round, with all the judging criteria committed to memory, one has no basis to make comments about placement IMO.

I am very comfortable that our judges did a great job, as usual.

I will say the flying just gets more incredible every year. I want to congratulate all the pilots. It was exciting and entertaining to watch every single one. I hope you can make it in 2009!

Mark,

Thanks on behalf of the whole crew. BTW, I have lost track of all the great comments I have received about your photos, especially from the night fly. You and your cracker jack assistant sure did it up right!

Thanks again,

Wendell
