Rosie Leasha and myself would like to thank all of the pilots who attended our 25th Annual IMAC Challenge this past weekend!!! And as mentioned at awards presentation, after 13 fall contests and 4 spring contests under our belts it was indeed our pleasure hosting these 17 events total for all of these years and make lifetime family/friends!! Also a another huge shoutout to Mr. Rich Whitlow for all of his help this weekend and in years past. Also Mr. Mark Thurman for all of his pictures he has provided (those will follow) these past several years. But it is time to pass the torch to Danny Powell to continue on this contest. Again we thank you and Texoma RC Modelers thanks you! We look forward to seeing you all out and about and back in Sherman in 2022!
