After this morning’s pilots’ meeting, the US Team pilots met, as usual, in their team office. When Dick Butler entered the room, he received a round of applause for his win on day 12. In the video, he acknowledges the sacrifices his teammate Ron Tabery has made throughout the contest to help him go faster.
Also at the meeting, US 18 meter pilot Bill Elliott presented a beautiful sculpture to Team Captain Dennis Linnekin in appreciation for his service and dedication to the team.
Good to see you and the team in action again, Captain!
Congratulations to all pilots, and especially the Open Class Team for a top-10 finish
