I won't really be flying Novice John. I wouldn't be able to face anyone at the contest if I did. I really would have just help guys out instead. Since the contest isn't a true SPA ruled contest, I'll be flying Expert.

Tom, as funny as that sounds, I know one pilot that reminds every time we meet that he beat me at the 85 Nats...lol. Right Dave

Best part is he has the 85 Nats issue of MA... now if I can just find a copy of that magazine, that would be too cool.
