We have about 120 pilots signed up and paid for the Worlds starting August 7th in Big Spring. The pilots are coming from, well, all over the World. We have pilots from Guatemala flying in Columbia right now trying to qualify for the Worlds (they aren't counted in the 120 pilots). 

Pilots will be coming from Ecuador, Hungary, Ukraine, Czech Republic, Canada, Brazil, Netherlands, Austria, Australia, Mexico, Slovenia, Switzerland, UK, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Japan, Germany, USA, Israel, France, Italy, Spain, Russia, Columbia, New Zealand and hopefully Guatemala.

Big Spring is very excited about the upcoming Worlds. This is the biggest thing for them all year.

We will have fifteen tugs (at least that's what it looks like so far). David Glover has been gathering tug resources from around the World and Russell Brown at Quest Air and Steve Kroop and Flytec are sending their tugs. Russell has to bring multiple trailer loads full of them to Texas. This means that we will have more than enough tugs to get pilots in the air.

Belinda Boulter is whipping everyone into shape making sure that everything is coordinated. She is working closely with the local committee and everything is in order.

We've heard recently the pre-registered pilots Olli Barthelems won't be able to make it, and that missing his first Worlds ever will be Steve Moyes. In his place Adam Parer is coming from Australia. Roland Wohrle will take Olli's place.

The local committee reports that all the bad weather in Texas has not bothered Big Spring and that today it is hot and humid.
