Another great weekend of aerobatics competition at the Tracy contest! Huge congratulations to all the International Aerobatic Club Chapter 26 members, friends, and fellow competitors who represented the Southwest region so well.

Big congratulations to Brian for winning Intermediate!
Barrett also had an outstanding contest, taking 3rd place and earning a medal in the Free program, and Conrad brought home a medal as well!

Dave had a very strong performance against a tough field of talented pilots and continues to show impressive flying and progress. Not every great performance ends on the podium, but the level of competition and flying this weekend was outstanding.

We also want to congratulate our friends from International Aerobatic Club Chapter 49:
AJ Wilder — 1st Place Unlimited
Owen Bock — 2nd Place Advanced
Chloe — 1st Place Sportsman

Great flying, great sportsmanship, and another awesome contest weekend with friends old and new. Safe travels home everyone and we’ll see you all at the next contest! ✈️

Blue skies, smooth air, and a box full of energy

Nothing beats a day of aerobatics practice, dialing in sequences, chasing cleaner lines, and pushing just a little harder each flight. Even better when it’s shared with a great group of friends on the ground and in the air.

Days like this are what it’s all about.

Huge showing from Chapter 26 at the Duel in the Desert! 🔥

Our pilots absolutely brought it this weekend:
🏆 Mike took home the top spot in Advanced
🥈 Owen secured 2nd place in Advanced
🥈 Brian grabbed 2nd in Intermediate
🥇 Askar claimed the top spot in Primary
💪 Dave, Will, and Ramy all had strong performances in Intermediate and Sportsman

From top to bottom, an incredible display of skill, progression, and sportsmanship by the entire team.

A massive thank you to Chapter 49 for hosting such a first-class contest—from the smooth operations, to the amazing food, to some of the best-looking trophies out there, and an awesome banquet to wrap it all up. Truly one of the highlights of the season!

Proud of this crew and already looking forward to the next one! 🙌🔥

The Duel in the Desert Aerobatic Contest is the first contest of the year for the Southwest Region, a great way to start the season and set yourself up for a strong year ahead.

If you’ve been thinking about trying a contest, this is a great opportunity to get in the box, learn, and connect with the aerobatic community. Hope to see a few Chapter 26 pilots there.

Chapter 26 Adventure Mode: ON ❄️✈️🎿

This weekend, Dave and Ramy traded the aerobatic box for fresh powder up in Mammoth, and it got us thinking…

What if we organized an annual Chapter 26 Fly-In Ski Weekend?

Here’s the vision:
• Members fly into Mammoth Yosemite Airport (KMMH)
• Other members who drove in can help shuttle pilots between the airport and the ski resort
• Two days of skiing, flying stories, hangar talk, and good company
• Maybe even a group dinner to wrap up the day

It’s the perfect mix of aviation and adventure — because let’s be honest… if we can fly upside down together, we can definitely carve some turns together 😄

What do you think?
Would you fly in for a ski weekend?

If there’s enough interest, we’ll start planning!

What a fantastic weekend for our aerobatics community!

We kicked things off with Dave’s presentation, which set the tone for a weekend focused on growth, safety, and sharpening our skills. From there, the box came alive with multiple pilots flying throughout the weekend ; including Will, Mike, Brian, Ramy, and Dave , each bringing great energy and commitment to improving their sequences.

The feedback and critique shared on the ground were incredibly valuable. Having experienced eyes observing from outside the box made all the difference, small corrections, positioning notes, energy management tips, and presentation details that you simply can’t catch from inside the cockpit. That kind of real-time, constructive input is what accelerates progress.

Beyond the flying, the camaraderie was just as strong. Between flights, we spent time socializing, exchanging ideas, and supporting each other’s goals , exactly what makes these practice weekends special.

For those who haven’t joined yet, this is truly a great opportunity: flying in a clearly marked aerobatic box with a dedicated ground observer creates a safe, structured, and highly productive training environment. It’s one of the best ways to build confidence, precision, and contest readiness.

We’re sorry we missed those who couldn’t make it this time , you were definitely missed!

Stay tuned for the next event, more great flying ahead!
