NATS COVERAGE
By Jay Smith, Executive Editor | jays@modelaircraft.org
THIS YEAR was the 17th Nats that I’ve attended. It is always enjoyable to be a part of it and to catch up with old friends and see new ones. About every three or four days, a new Special Interest Group participates, and it allows the opportunity to see many of the disciplines that our hobby has to offer.
The best way to cover an event that spans more than a month and takes place in two locations is always a topic for discussion. In this issue, Terry Dunn does a great job covering the event, drawing from NatsNews authors and participants who were there.

Next year will be the 100th time the Nats takes place. This is because the competitions were not held for four years during World War II. Discussions have already begun on how best to cover this anniversary event.
I would greatly appreciate hearing from members and readers about what you might like to see for next year’s coverage. Do you prefer videos from the event or more photos and a written story? Do you have other ideas on how to best convey the excitement of the event? Please reach out and share your thoughts with me.
