Sodbusters STOL Competition Practice

Today’s STOL practice session at Hartford Municipal Airport (HXF) in **Hartford, Wisconsin**, kicks off under perfect flying conditions. Clear skies, light winds, and summer temps in the high 80s give pilots an ideal backdrop to fine-tune their approaches, test their aircraft’s limits, and dial in their performance ahead of the main event. The ramp is buzzing with activity as teams make final adjustments and spectators gather to watch some of the best in the sport prepare for takeoff. Tomorrow, all eyes turn to the **Touring Class & Wilderness Class**, featuring powerhouse aircraft like the **Cessna 185, 180, 182, 175**, and a brand-new **4-Plane Backcountry Cub**. These backcountry machines are purpose-built for precision STOL flying while carrying a heavy load and the pilots behind the yokes are ready to push the limits with every pass down the course. However, the season hasn’t come without setbacks. On *June 23**, the **National STOL trailer**—our mobile HQ packed with all the gear that makes these events possible—was **completely destroyed in a fire* following a motor vehicle accident in *Montana**. Thankfully, no one was injured, but the loss was total. Banners, flags, sound equipment, cameras, Starlink systems, switching and networking gear—**everything* needed to put on a show—was gone in an instant. Unfortunately, insurance does *not* cover the contents of the trailer, so we’ve launched a *GoFundMe* to help us recover and rebuild.
