>> The AMA has shortened the total NATS period this year, so you read that correct. Fortunately, our actual flying days were not changed.  Soaring went from 13 days to 6 days this year. In previous years, it was never truly our day, but it worked out that way as a day of setup for the workers.  We have never had a true practice day, but since the sites were free, they were available.  Sites 1 and 4 may be available, but that remains to be seen.  Once Pylon is done then we will be able to use the sites.  Think of it as how the others sites have worked on Saturdays in previous years.
