Mr Sparks wanted to pass this along to our Veteran Olympiad Staff and Newcomers as well. Dear Tim & Tom, I want to offer my most sincere thanks to you for coordinating the Helicopter Duration and Wright Stuff events for the 2010 Science Olympiad State Tournament. IU Bloomington has a reputation of being the best host site for the state tournament. That reputation is very well deserved – we have state-of-the-art facilities and the best event supervisors & volunteers in the State! As I continually emphasized to the coaches and students, the event supervisors & volunteers are what make the tournament tick. Without you, Science Olympiad tournaments simply would not exist. I hope the time, talent and creativity you expended on your event paid off with a fun and rewarding day. I have already received many thank you notes from coaches and students who have commented on the fun, challenging and fair events at the tournament. They have also complimented your high lev

Carrier landings These are the worlds best pilots. Watch #1 video first, then #2. Make sure your sound is on. I have seen a lot of aviation emails but the two videos below are undoubtedly the best. Turn on your sound and go full screen. I guarantee this will definitely hold your attention. These videos show the difference between Naval Aviation and any other kind. The links below are two outstanding videos about F-18 carrier operations aboard the USS Nimitz during weather that causes a severely pitching deck, which you can see in the videos. It's more dangerous than most combat missions and the tension in the pilots and crew is very apparent. Watch Part 1 first. Great videos Carrier Landing on a Pitching Deck Pt. 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch_ popup?v=4gGMI8d3vLs
