Ever since Gerry Smith was killed in a landing accident at Big Sur, California, The E Team has held a memorial meet on the first Saturday of each year. Bob McKenzie who died from a landing accident on a cross country trip was the next E Teamer to join the ranks of our fallen friends and was added to the annual memorial meet. In 2000, the loss of two of our beloved brothers, Keith Lamb and Doug Domokos who were killed simultaniously in an ultralight accident in Murrieta were added to the list. And finally, the most recent addition to the list was Kenny Holbert who was killed at The "E" while coring a thermal over the spine. Kenny's accident became our first fatality at The "E".

All of our friends died while doing what they loved. Flying. And in view of the sadness we all experience through the loss of a friend or loved one, we would like to memorialize their love of life rather than the accidents that took them away from us. We normally do this at the begining of each year while at the same time renewing our flying club, it's members and it's officers. Flying and remembering our fallen friends is a great way to start off the year. However this year it rained for about a million days and we had to postpone it till Spring. Better late than never!

Below are the official results of the 2005 Memorial Meet. As far as what went on in the landing area after the meet is concerned, well you just had to be there. And remember, What happens in the Elsinore landing area............. Get's put on the front page of the website!
