Even if the number of competition days was rather small, we can nevertheless congratulate the Schleicher pilots on their outstanding results at the US nationals in Cordele (GA).

Doug Jacobs wins the Open class in his ASH 31 Mi and becomes the new US champion. Second place went to Dick Butler in his Concordia. Sam Zimmermann (ASH 31 Mi) and Roger Buchanan (ASH 30 Mi) came 4th and 5th and were able to stay close to the leaders. Pete Alexander (ASG 32 Mi) placed 8th.
