[NSRCA-discussion] Changing list behavior.

[Steven Maxwell]

 Don used to come to our field once a year, not sure what his business was
at the Army base next door but, but it was only a couples days a year, I
had ask him a couple of times if he would like to fly my plane, he always
delined, but if he had it would only show how bad I flew it.
