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.</span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Comic Sans MS"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Comic Sans MS"">I realize that early preliminary 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?</span></font></p>
