American Navion Society Annual Convention Report

 

SNAG was well represented again last year at the ANS annual convention held at Spearfish, SD.  Those of you who could not get there were sorely missed.  Everyone enjoyed a great time again this year.  The flying contests were dominated by SNAG again this year.  The weather was cool and messy at times, and we had to cancel the Proficiency event due to weather.  The Speed contest was held Tuesday morning.  The Efficiency was flown Thursday. 

 

This year's convention began on Sunday but some of us arrived on Saturday to relax and look around. We toured the Black Hills and Mount Rushmore.

 

Sunday evening we had our traditional welcoming pizza party.  

 

Congratulations to SNAG members participating in the flying competition events at the 2021 ANS Annual Convention.  Our combined efforts resulted in SNAG winning the ANS Challenge Cup for our 16th consecutive year!  Former SNAG President Mitch Midyet should be very proud.
