[SPAM] Re: Leaving Early NATS 05

[John Ferrell]

When military combat teams are launched they put up more planes than are appropriate to the mission and then recall the excess members. When we assign three judges, we could ask for five and then release two to be sure of the necessary number showing up. It might be easier on the contest management, but as a contestant judge that got released I would find it a significant annoyance!

I think the situation is OK the way it is...

    Amen Cameron, as far as I'm concerned, you did it RIGHT! I can't think of anything you could have done differently. 

    The judging thing has been a problem since the early seventies when I went to my first NATS. Since that time, I haven't seen anyone come up with a solution that is fool proof and it just ain't gonna happen! 

    After paying the entry fees, all the rest etc., and you need to leave, tell the CD! That should be sufficient!

    Just model airplanes guys!

      I guess I could be quiet on this subject but since there might be some misinformed people out there:

       I did withdraw from the 05 Nats for personal reasons on the 2nd day of the contest. I did fulfill my Judging assignment on the first day. Site 1 for FAI.

      I did FACE to Face advise Dave Guerin THE CD that I was a Withdrawal. He did have me down to judge on multiple days. I knew this & out of respect to him & the situation advise him of my early departure. 

       

       Now I hear talk being bantered about that punishment & Black listing are in order. New rules & fee's for people that will take a week off work, Drive across the country, Pay the hotel bills, Pay the entry fee's, Practice & build.  Some of us do this without support groups of friends & fellow pilots. Have a bad time & leave early. 

       Why don't you just say "Don't come back?"

       

       Then go post on the thread "What's wrong with pattern"

         

       

       

                                                             Respectfully

       

                                                                  Cameron Smith
