Kathy Jaffe from www.iac52.org
Kathy Jaffe was President of IAC Chapter 52 in the late 90's. She was also contest director for the chapter's "Contest in the Catskills" held for several years at Sullivan County Airport in Monticello, New York.
Harley Carnes writes, "Kathy was one of the most exuberantly, happily determined people I've ever known." She earned the love and admiration of many in the chapter, primarily due to her unstoppable enthusiasm for all of aerobatics and the people in it. Says Ron Saglimbene, "She had very little to do with organized aerobatics until she became Prez', but she was special. She threw herself into it and kept us all together. She had more ambition and guts than anyone I've ever met." ...

Video: Oshkosh 2010 Recap Music Video - Wow! (Hot Stuff) from Martt
I've been looking for the Oshkosh 2010 recap video that I would have made if I could. This is it... Wow!
A great job by youtuber slickhutto, and while the music background in the video works quite well, I'm really looking forward to the '10 minute series' coming before long that looks like it will run without the music background.
If you haven't been to Oshkosh, or it's been a while, this video should show you why you need to be there next year! Oshkosh 2011: July 25-31... start making your plans now : )
