Yup, I'll be there sometime Friday. As I now have corrobaration that you are a "babe", I fear that I must confess that I am not a babe-magnet! Shame

There is generally a whole line of Pitts Specials, mine is the one parked next to a purple tent!
Depending upon the bank balance - I'll either be there first thing Fri or just in time for TFIF sundowners outside the beer tent.

Failing that - find the ugliest, noisiest bunch of fat dwarfs in the beer tent come drinking time and ask them where the Pitts chaps are and they'll probably point to each other, in which case look for the ugliest and that'll be Stik!!

See you there hopefully. And having met me, should you see me during the entire w/e looking harassed or bored, your mission is to rescue me!!

READ THE AIC AND WORK OUT WHICH APPROACH THAT YOU WILL "PROBABLY" USE - THEN MEMORISE IT, should save you a lot of hard work.

On my first arrival at the Rally - years ago, when Pontius Pilate was still to do his first x-country, I was cut up on approach by a chap in a fast yellow biplane. I slowed down from 65mph to 50mph and still landed after he'd cleared....

the point being -

It can be quite hard work arriving with 2 or 3 pairs of eyes in the cockpit - the single seat guys (fast or slow) are doing it on their lonesomes so don't get agitated if you get cut up - just accept it and make the best out of the situation.
