Here are some terrific images from the Sea Trials 2018 Event.  Jerry Rovey lent us his beautiful spacious alfalfa filled fields again for another fantastic event of fun, flying, and camaraderie. Thanks go to Jerry Rovey, Tom Arnold and staff for all the hard work to make this a great time for all. This site will be used for WESTFAC 2019. If you have pictures you would like to include in this gallery, send them to our webmaster or Tom Arnold. Make sure to include a short caption. I'm not that good at making stuff up.
