That would be a great idea......if we ever had an audience
Maybe we need a real scoreboard similar to the TOC scoreboard to
generate interest.
List by class and name with a picture of the pilot holding airplane.
post scores raw and normalized. put schedules on large posters. Maybe
there would be some interest in what we are doing if we show an audience
what we are doing..
