Nat's

[Del K. Rykert]

I agree with Terry. If the past Nats are used as a measure 70 to 75% head out when they are done flying unless retired and no pressing needs pulling you somewhere else.

  I think this is a very big mistake! We are going to loose about half of our banquet participants. There is nothing to keep the Advance and Intermediate flyers there for another day. My guess is that some of the top three will not stay around for the awards. For those of us who are planning the entire week off from work, that works, but an awful lot head out after the banquet Wed, to be back at work Thurs, to save 2 more days of vacation. I guess we will see! What would you do if we have a situation like we had last year, where the plaques were not made up properly. At least while we were at the site, headquaters was able to correct the problem. If you wait until Thurs, there is no saving the situation.
  It also requires the FAI and Masters pilots to stick around for several hours, when a lot of them could be getting a good start home Thursday afternoon. I know that the place is empty by 5 on Thursday afternoon.

  What has the banquet attendance been the past few years? My guess is about 200. If the banquet is changed to Thurs, my bet is that you get less than 50. If that is what is wanted, go for it! I know I'll be half way home by then.

  Just my 2 cents worth.

    Just a heads up.....the schedule that is listed on the NATS entry form is wrong.  The banquet will not be on Wednesday night as it has been in the past.  It will be on Thursday after the Masters and FAI finals.  I talked to Dave Guerin (Chip and Dave are the CD's) the other day and he confirmed this.  The idea behind this is to have the awards presentations of all classes at the same time.  Friday will still be a "weather day."  The rest of the info is correct...(pilots meeting time, etc.)

    Thought I would pass this along, as I know some of you start heading back home Wednesday night or Thursday morning.  
    The mistake was caught by Dave, but AMA did not make the corrections to it.  Next months K-Factor is suppose to have a break down of the correct schedule.

    Please pass this info on to anyone that might not be monitoring the list.

    Thanks,
    T-Bone

       Just got my Nat's package last week, for anyone that is new you can get your forms from the AMA website, now is a good time to get them in. First timers don't get the forms in the mail.
