What: The Mifflin Region 2 Contest May 15-21 is cancelled. A new Region 2 contest is scheduled for May 21-27, Mifflin County Airport, Reedsville PA. An informal practice day will be held Friday, May 20 if pilots choose to fly and weather permits. The mandatory pilots meeting will be held Saturday morning.

Why: A stubborn, blocking weather pattern giving us our current rainy weather is not forecast to move out of the area until the end of the week. Rather than waste everyone’s time and money on a rainy week, the contest organizers decided to schedule a contest for the next period of flyable weather.

How: The SSA Contest Committee has granted the contest organizers a waiver to schedule a new Region 2 contest, to be held Saturday, May 21 through Friday, May 27.

For further information, or if you plan to fly the new contest dates, contact Iris Striedieck.
