So many people were part of the success of the event. Many of the people were shown much appreciation during the event. A few people need a special after event thanks.

Windsocks.

Bruce Hawk,. Bruce is a longtime Tennessee hang glider pilot who makes the best aviation wind socks in the world. He sent an incredible goal set to the World Championships. Easy to assemble, portable, huge and super visible. He shipped them to us, let us use them and then would not allow us to even pay for shipping back. Incredible.   of Windsok

Trophies.

Dan Dugan. Dan is a pilot from Illinois who has helped out at many events. He is a musician, photographer, cart retriever extraordinaire and an accomplished artist. He donated the trophies for the event. Beautiful, engraved heavy, marble plaques. Instead of shipping them down (Dan said "shipping 140lbs in a box was too expensive") he decided to put them on the back of his motorcycle and transport them through a hurricane, literally. The pilots and teams loved them.

Everything.

Steve Kroop. Most humble, most giving, best friend to the pilots. Steve fund raised and donated much of the money for the US Team. He was the Chief US Team Cat Herder. He donated use of his FLYTEC 912 Tug to the World Championship. Why anyone would buy a vario from anyone else is beyond comprehension of anyone who has ever dealt with Steve's "service after the sell".
