Today was another practice day as well as the opening ceremony.

The ceremony was held at an out door amphitheater which was very roman feeling. We were paraded in and across the stage. We were greeted by the mayor, the FAI CIVL president, the airport manager and others. The pomp and circumstance was a little weird but cool non the less. After the ceremony the town of Big Spring hosted us for a BBQ and we had a chance to visit and talk. David Glover is at the pool right now with most of the comp pilots taking bets on who will be in the top 5. The favorites are Attilla, Robert, Jonny, Primoz and Robin. I put my money on my good friend Brett, I think he will win.
