<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The sponsored pilot received his sponsorship
because of his skill and dedication. He did not gain competitive advantage due
to the sponsorship. It is a priviledge and opportunity to be able to fly
alongside this talent and partake of their skills and knowledge. It is one
aspect of the hobby for which I am most appreciative.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>There have been infrequent critizisms thru the
years wanting to put the sponsored pilot in a separate group. Maybe "sour
grapes" should just work a little harder.</FONT></DIV>
