<DIV>Please don't forget the "pattern fans". I just enjoy very much watching the top pilots competing. Therefore, please consider the "pattern fans" when you make the decision. I get only one shot every two years to go to the Nats. and I could not attend a separate TS event. I feel that NSRCA is taking the right decision for the "pattern fans" if the TS is part of te Nats.</DIV>
