Flight times at the Nats

[Joe Lachowski]

Frankly, I haven't seen that it was much of a problem in the past. Besides 
I'd rather see FAI fly in the afternoon when conditions are typically the 
worst. Afterall, in the end, we need to pick the best pilots for the team 
and a national champion who can handle the most adverse conditions.

It may be calmer in the AM but visibility is at its worst in the early AM, 
as well. So flying in the AM is not that much of an  advantage to this aging 
pilots eyes.<g>
