think I can assume that the info posted at the NSRCA site is accurate. I
see that some of the F3A pilots have been tasked for judging Advanced class and
since F3A is flying in the AM, they will be available for judging in the
PM. I should have checked this before I made the last post, sorry.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

schedules are subject to change and I'm wondering which of the conflicting info
put out on flight schedules is correct. The first schedule that I
received with my NATs registration package from AMA has Advanced class flying
in the morning while the flight schedule posted on the NSRCA site has Advanced
class flying in the afternoon. Wonder which is correct?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
