it stuck to him, but like I have said many times before, and this is not
directed at anyone in particular, some people get way to carried away with
collecting trophies, I have seen many good pilots that are completely out of
control, just to get a trophy that will be lost, thrown away or collecting
dust in an attic, we need to focus more on improving our flying, and not on
collecting trophies, you should feel good that you are improving, learning and
as important helping other's learn, this is not an easy process and takes many
years and most of us will never get to the world's, which is the ultimate
goal. So feel good about your improvements. <BR><BR></FONT><FONT lang=0
