given ?direct? to the runway, and all six landed on their assigned colored spot. The group submitted four of their
aircraft for judging, and all four won the judges? OUTSTANDING AIRCRAFT AWARD. In addition to the individual aircraft
awards, the judges were so inspired by the accomplishments of the group that they created a new judging category;

Incredible accomplishments!

A big, hearty congratulations to all the students.

Best,

[Kahuna]

Our team has been working with these great kids for a couple of years now, meeting them at air shows and demonstrating the RV-12's for them. Its very uplifting to spend time with these kids, and their mentors. With the news full of general world madness, these kids and their mentors really put a smile on my face. They do more for me that I do for them. Im honored that they allow me to participate in their program, albeit in a very small way.

Thank you Earnie and team for reminding us that the world is not all bad, and that our youth really are able to make it happen, be motivated, get it done, and inspire the rest of us with the hope of a bright future.

Congratulations. Great to see you again. Eagles Nest has inspired us as EAA chapter 690 to apply for the build program with Airventure this summer & we hope we are fortunate to be awarded one of the 10 wings being built to start our project in Lawrenceville, GA.
Again congratulations & see you at KOSH.
