THE 1994 NATS AEROBATICS site was on the International Airport, just outside of Lubbock. We got to use the crosswind runway, which I know is not the most desirable, especially with those famous (or maybe infamous) West Texas winds. But the winds turned out not to be such a big factor; during the first four days the winds came from the south at about 10 to 20 mph. The last two days they were light and variable. The temperature stayed around 95-100º with low humidity. We had one day with a little rain, which really did not hamper our flying. All in all the conditions made for a very pleasant contest. Because of the low turnout, which was the case in most events this year, a special format had to be used to get in the amount of flying the Event Director (Paul Salverda) wanted.
