FOXY FIGURES 2019 & more

Our second Foxy Figures contest was a rousing success, even if our attendance was down due to several cancellations and no-shows. Much fun was had at the casual Halloween welcome pizza party Thursday night where a few pilots broke out costumes. The awards cookout was held in the Fox airport terminal after the flying was done on Saturday. Besides the usual awards, a few special awards were presented by Chief Judge Bob Meyer, including a bag of "Snap" chips to help Jay Yau with his snaps!
