Rich Owen (Orlando, FL, ex Navy and Delta Pilot) deserves some serious thanks from the contest pilots and soaring competition fans of the USA/SSA for his steadfast commitment (and writing talent) in writing outstanding contest reports for the SSA contests he attends (many or most) including the seniors championships, which he also essentially runs. Rich puts an enormous amount of effort into writing the daily contest reports for all contest he attends (as well as some others I believe). Thank you sir! Your efforts and time commitments during these already time consuming contests are tremendously appreciated.
