Thanks. We made three flights today. Were not shot at.

FBI visited. Took copies of our customer files. They were expecting a couple
hundred.

We gave them 8,000.

You mean outside the "enhanced" Class B....

Are you folks operating in Jean?

yes Walt... the book says Jean is 20.4 nm from LAS.. right on the money..
keep the patterns tight to the north.. and most of the ridge is unusable...
if the enhanced class B does not get lifted.. we'll apply for some space
waiver around the airport..

We did 64 flights at PGC yesterday during our 60th Anniversary event. Score: 64
take-offs - 64 Landings; No intercepts; Not one glider shot down; No visits
from the men in black; 64 happy neighbors.

Bob, how does one get a copy of the new PGC documents you lectured about in
Indianapolis at the convention? Inquiring Minds Want To Know.
