2000 LOS BANOS
California

T Shirt Design by Bruce De Visser
 
Here are shots of the 2000 event. Less winds this year, produced more aero towing through out the weekend. Hot 95 to 100 degree weather made for very good morning thermal flights, Dan Troxell and Dennis Brandt made several half to one hour flights this weekend. Afternoon winds from the north east made for good slope flying on Saturday.
