2022 MCRSC Bomb/Parachute Drop Contest
The 16th Annual MCRCS Bomb/Parachute Drop Contest
took place on October 9th with decent sunny weather although
temperatures started out in the low forties.
Temperatures warmed up to about 60 degrees although winds picked up to
about 10 mph with higher gusts toward the end of the contest. We had
9 entrants in the Bomb Drop and only 4 entrants in the Parachute Drop. This was a slightly lower turnout of
participating pilots from the previous year but we still had a good number of
non-participating members watching on. Some
members called it quits after only 1 flight when they watched their bombs drop
and forgot about watching their planes. Again,
for this year’s contest, we only used a point system and counted all three
drops. This incorporated a 50-foot
diameter circle in addition to the other inner circles which works great for keeping
score with no tedious measuring. We had
our monthly membership meeting after the contest along with a great lunch with
all the fixings. Contest Director was
Carl Gubkin but we also need to thank Irwin Keshner, Jim Meighan, Chris Leeds, and
Brian Bunda for their help in making the day a great success!
