ANS Annual Convention

American Navion Society Annual Convention Report

 

SNAG was well represented again last year at the ANS annual convention held at Dayton, Ohio.  Those of you who could not get there were sorely missed.  Everyone enjoyed a great time again this year.  The flying contests were dominated by SNAG again this year.  The weather was warm to hot and muggy at times, but we had good weather to fly all of the flying events..  The Speed contest was held Tuesday morning.  The Efficiency was flown Thursday, and Proficiency on Friday. 

 

This year's convention began on Sunday but some of us arrived on Saturday to relax and look around. We toured the Museum of the US Air Force and Carillon Park where the 1905 Wright Flyer is on permanent display.

 

Sunday evening we had our traditional welcoming pizza party at the Moraine Airpark.  

 

Congratulations to SNAG members participating in the flying competition events at the 2022 ANS Annual Convention. Our combined efforts resulted in SNAG winning the ANS Challenge Cup for our 17th consecutive year!  Former SNAG President Mitch Midyet should be very proud.
