American Navion Society Annual Convention Report
SNAG was well represented again this year at the ANS annual convention held
at
This year's convention began on Sunday but some of us arrived on Saturday to relax and look around. Our flying activities began on Tuesday morning.
Sunday evening
we had our traditional welcoming pizza party. The All Out Speed Event was held Tuesday, and the Efficiency Contest was
flown on Wednesday this year. The Proficiency Contest was flown Friday. Evenings were filled with social
