Default RE: Florida Jets Awards Process

Frank,
Pesonally it doesnt matter to me, but since you brough it up I thought I would point out a few things.
You gave "best civillian jet" to a KingCat, when there was actually a ViperJet (wich was the only civilian scale jet in Florida)on the line Saturday and had been flown...I talked with you about this and you said "If your not out on the line Saturday....you dont get an award" then you give the "Hot Stick" award to someone who left Friday evening.....and wasnt even at the show Saturday or Sunday? You said that the judges were not sure if the planes have flown and the criteria was that it "had to have flown"....still at the awards presentation you gave an award out for "best graphics" to a plane that did not fly and as you were handing out the award you said "he promised to fly it tomarrow"!
I am just trying to help you out Frank, everyone loves attending Florida Jets.....but your awards have no credibility because of these things, and people start making up their own oppinion's when they hear you contradict yourself. I know this sounds a little harsh, but remember it was your idea to "clear things up" so I assumed you wanted the truth.
I could go on, but I thought these few examples would be sufficient for now.
By the way Frank....did any of your Judges see Adil's F-14 fly? Did they know it was a twin? just curious.
