Top Gun: Rex Krauklis

2004 Short Field Contest
This was a first time event

There are only "personal bests" in this game due to the different aircraft types.

The "angle" refers to the sight angle as measured with a Pelorus located 800' from the start line.

The Pelorus was located 200' from the runway centerline.

The" law of sines" is used to turn the angle into a distance.

Significant transient air traffic limited this contest.

Rex Krauklis went on to win the Landing Contest and Top Gun for the 2nd year in a row.
2004 Style and Grace Landing Contest
This is the 2nd time this event has been held

The highest combined score wins

Any landing not within the 80' long target zone was supposed to given a zero

There was obviously some differences of opinion on what was a hit and what was a miss.

The highest and lowest scores were dropped. The remaining 8 scores were averaged.

Each pilot had 3 chances
