<DIV><BR></DIV><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>Not so sure this is a good
idea considering that Thursday is a non-flying day for 80% of the people who
attend the NATS. Not that the Master/FAI losers and us lower classes
live for and LOVE watching other people fly, but consider the sacrificed
family time and money used up to attend the NATS, and now to attend the
banquet we will be required to stay one more day.</FONT> <BR><FONT
face=sans-serif size=2>I could be wrong, but I would think that banquet
attendance will be dramatically reduced. Even the 10 Masters and 10 FAI final
guys usually split Thursday afternoon.</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif
