Hey Arty,
Haven't heard much from you since your epic journey. Nice to see you're still hanging out!
There's an STOL competition up in Valdez, AK that I've watched a number of years. Following is a link of the champ where you can plainly see him working the flaps. I sometimes enviously watch a bird landing on a tree branch and wish I were half that good at planting it. This guy almost is!! Of course a plane coming to a stop with it's tail high in the air and it's prob destroyed isn't unusual. Enjoy.

Would you please describe it?
Thanks -

Very good example.
Sometimes I would like to see this competition conducted in a little or no wind condition.
Having flown into Valdez in my MKIII, I know it can be very windy there. Pretty obvious it was windy the day of the competition. Those guys are good.
Two years ago, Steve Henry and Gary Haley (former member of the Kolb List and flying buddy), flew to Valdez for the competition. Steve placed 2d or 3d in his class flying a stock Just Highlander. Steve flies out of Nampa, ID, and visits Larry Cottrell's Rock House occasionally. Nice guy. Spent some time with Steve and Gary at Lakeland last week.
