Lance, sorry, I couldn't resist giving you that nickname. For those of you who don't get the joke, you haven't seen enough Seinfeld reruns. After flying was finished we all enjoyed an expertly prepared Crawfish dinner with all the fixins. We were also entertained by Bryan Hebert and Brett Wickizer putting on some impressive demonstration flights with Nat Penton's Voodoo Express. Pictures to follow, and I'll update this again with final standings tomorrow.
