steve said:Jerry, I got the schedule from the website so I was wrong on the days I guess. It said 1pm - 4pm on Saturday, which are you GMT-8 in Valdez?
I think a fun contest would be make all the pilots fly the same plane, and load it to the same weight. The pilot steps on a scale, and they figure how much more weight to throw into the plane to compensate for his not drinking enough beer at night.
