At #LonestarSTOL, William Gilstrap won the Heavy T

At #LonestarSTOL, William Gilstrap won the Heavy Touring class with a combined score of 332 feet. That's remarkable in itself, but he did it with a 149 foot takeoff distance and 183 foot landing... in a 4 seat, 1957 Straight Tail #Cessna182. That's an aircraft that you can take your family on a trip in, and can get in and out of the tightest spots. The pilot skill is incredible. The competition was intense! Colorado competitor Matt Schantz was only 4 feet behind William in his Cessna 180B. Come see William again in Lakeland in December and see if he can beat his previous run! Can he go 2 for 2? Join us in Lakeland, Florida at the @SUN 'n FUN campus for the Central Florida Classic on Dec 4 & 5. Competitors can sign up today on our website: https://buff.ly/37jydoF - Can't make it in person?
