CARRIER LANDING COMPETITION
	This is a spot landing competition with a little bit of flare. We have arranged to have a Navy LSO (Landing Signals Officer) on the side of the runway to grade your landings. The entire approach to landing from the abeam to the wires are graded. Points are evaluated for communication discipline, glide slope control until “in-close”, and the landing spot.
If you don’t fly this event, you are welcome on the side of the runway for the event and in the tent after for the entertaining debrief where pilots landings are critiqued in good fun. See if you pick up what the LSO notes in his debrief.
BOMB DROP COMPETITION
	The bomb drop competition will be moved to the other side of the field this year. There will be a mandatory training brief prior to the event. The plan is for each pilot to get three bags of flower to drop on the target. The pilot with the closest average wins!
Do you have what it takes to be the bomb drop champion this year?
BALLOON POP - NEW!
	This is a new event for All Red Star. This challenging event is part flying skill and part timing. Pilots will approach the airfield with ½ mile spacing. Each participating pilot will call when to have the ground crew release your balloon. You then must pop the balloon with your prop while still maintaining 600AGL +/- 100 feet. Altitude violations or aerobatic flight will disqualify pilots.
All skill levels are encouraged to participate. If the PIC is not FAST rated, a FAST rated pilot must be in the back seat as a safety pilot.
FORMATION CHALLENGE
	The formation challenge is the culmination of our training of the All Red Star event. The goal is to allow the FAST patched members to strut their stuff by competing for bragging rights for the entire next year. This year’s competition routine is posted on the All Red Star webpage prior to the event. This will allow teams to practice during the event. There is an honor system that there is no practicing the sequence during the event. FAST patched pilots are needed for training and practicing at All Red Star and organizers need their talent to train and mentor our up and coming newbie FAST pilots.
