I've received good response to this video. The mix of the GPS track and some in-flight footage holds people's interest and gives a taste of what it's like to fly to non-pilots.

One component of the proposed changes in the NTSS competition system brought forth by the Competition Workgroup under the direction of the USHPA Competition Committee Chairman is the "warm body" provision that supposedly would give more validity to meets based on the number of participants, and less weight to the "quality" of participants, as... mehr
