Dear Sirs
Attached is a message from the US Aerobatic Team Foundation
President. Unfortunately, we will not be competing in the World contest for
reasons stated in the message. The disappointment is shared by all, but we must
remain unified as a team. I wish to express my thanks to all of those that
supported me and went out of their way to do what they could to show their
support. I was really shocked and pleased to see this support and only wish
their was a way to pay it back. I will always be a proud representative of CCAA
and EAA Chapter1300, as I continue to participate in regional contests throughout the
country. Once again, a very sincere thanks to all of you.

Re: AWAC 2002 - Slovenia
Date: May 13, 2002
CC: Advanced Team, Board of Trustees, CIVA Delegation & Lisa Popp

On Tuesday night, a telephonic team meeting was held with all the members of the 2002 AWAC team. During lengthy discussions, it was determined that there were several major issues that would preclude the team from participating in this year's event. Some of the major concerns included impossible insurance requirements, unavailability of airplanes in the US and the continued unavailability of airplanes in Europe, shrinking national economy, individual and group finances. These concerns, among others have led to the 2002 Advanced Team, in conference, to elect to forgo participation in the AWAC this year.

At conclusion of these discussions, only 2 pilots indicated a desire to continue to participate. Since the US Aerobatic Foundation is charged with funding and managing a "Team" (CIVA rules designates 3 pilots as a National Team) it is the Foundation’s policy not send registrations or make payment for entry of any pilots for the AWAC 2002 in Slovenia. The protection of the individual team member's decision is paramount and the circumstances surrounding that decision must remain confidential and dignified.

Editors Note: We need to decide what to do with the funds raised to assist Jim in his trip to compete in the World Aerobatic Championship in Slovenia this August, which has been cancelled for 2002.

EAA Youth Air Academy:
The chapter voted to sponsor two (2) students to the EAA Air Academy in Oshkosh during the EAA fly-in (July, 2002). We need everyone’s support for this program with a donation of what ever you feel you can contribute. Remember you donation to our education fund is Tax Deductibles.
