Focus on Competition
Greg Hahn
2013 FAI World Championship participants
I thought I'd pass along some pertinent FAI team information for the 2013 season and list the teams and congratulate the pilots who captured a place on those teams. Following are the names of the team members and their particular disciplines. If you happen to meet or know one of these pilots, give him a shout of good luck. They will all be doing their best to represent the US in world competitions.
