I'm getting excited as the contest season begins. We have another F1D contest in Torrance on the first Sunday in April, then I'm off to the Kent contest in mid April. Unfortunately, I will miss the contests in Eager and Colorado Springs, both of which I attended in 2012. If you have the opportunity to attend, do so.
Next year, I hope the Willamette club schedules its Spring contest during a different weekend than the Kent contest. I would like to make it up there some time. Same for the Bong Eagle and DC Maxecuter contests.
You can see all of the freeflight, indoor and outdoor, on the Free Flight Master Calendar

I noticed that Glastonbury doesn't have a Spring contest on calendar, yet.
Another contest I would like to attend one day is the Indoor Fling in Pontiac, in May. This year, in lieu of USIC, I will probably go to Lakehurst over Memorial Day weekend. This will be my last chance to get my models worked out for the Team Selection contest at the Kibbie Dome end of June.
Mid June, before the Kibbie contest, is another contest that I would like to attend one day -- the Peach State Indoor Championship. I probably won't make that this year.
After the Kibbie, I will likely miss USIC this year to attend to non-indoor obligations. I hate to miss it, though. I hope to round out the year with a Labor Day trip to Lakehurst.
So, what are your plans?
