Troy Please don't let what is surely a small misunderstanding lead
you to be anything other than the Troy Newman we all love. Your candor
and honest opinions are second only to your enthusiasm and hard work. You
are one hard core pattern flyer!While there are those that would make advancement
to FAI mandatory if it were up to them, I really don't believe you feel
that way. However, you did pen the following statement : An AMA pattern
class that is designed as a
<br>destination class is just that....a destination...and once you reach
your
<br>destination the Journey is no longer endured! Some will play for a
while but
<br>they reached their destination and fall off the map...We loose these
pilots
<br>because we expect less from them!
<p>Others are happy as stationary pilots. The problem is now we have to
change
<br>the rules every 2-3 years to keep your interest. I say move up and
play in
<br>the big sand box! That can very easily be taken out of context
to mean you favor forced advancement. Through your actions and your
words, you have probably helped more flyers than anyone else in pattern.
You certainly have given me some timely advice in the past and I feel I
will need some more in the future. One thing I won't tolerate is a
"silent" Troy Newman !</blockquote>
