Landing Competition and Flour Drop!

Each year, Hesston College aviation has missions week, where various aviation alumni come and speak on their experiences in mission aviation. The even is the entire weekend with various speakers and a meal. But the think I a personally looking forward to is the Hesston College Aviation Larks Rally. This is a time when the aviation students compete in two competitions: The Landing competition and the flour drop.

I'm not sure of all the details, so I will update you after this event takes place. I believe the landing competition is to see who can land in the shortest distance, between two markers. Either that or there is specific markers to see who can land between them. The flour drop sounds pretty straight forward in that teams will overfly the field and try to land their flower sack on a prescribed target.

I still need to get a team together, and I have two weeks to do that. The competition takes place on Saturday, April 10. Be assured I WILL post after this event to tell details and stories on what happened. I might even get some really good pictures!
