Where In The World Is Peter Vogel?

Let’s take a trip to Davis, CA. Here Team Pilot Peter Vogel attended the Woodland/Davis Pattern Spectacular contest (June 21st and 22nd). A turnout of 20 pilots competed in various classes including Sportsman, Intermediate, Advanced, Masters, MP-15, and FAI (P15 & F15) with our very own team pilot walking away with Second place (intermediate)! Daniel Lipton (a recent Jeti convert) placed third. Congrats to all the winners at the Woodland/Davis Pattern Spectacular!
