RE: NATS 2012
Joe,
There is nothing stopping someone from flying certain days. You could theoretically win Intermediate or Advanced after just two days of flying as you would have 4 rounds done and we keep the best 4 out of 6 for those two classes. Intermediate and Advanced will be flying Monday - Wednesday with winners announced Wednesday night. Thursday will be the finals day for Masters and FAI. You would need to let the ED know ahead of time if wanted to do this as people who skip work assignments, judging, or weighing (for intermediate pilots) have their high score dropped. With you living in Cincy, you could easily be there from the pilots meeting Sunday evening through Wednesday and get all of your flights in, and go home Wednesday night.
