Mark,
Thanks for the info and clarification.
If Johnny or someone is willing, can we get towed up after the contests both
days?

Tom,
On the weekend there are three events running concurrently, F3B, Winch
XC, and Aerotow XC and you must enter one, that is how I thought it was
done in '04 but that is how it will be done in '06. Good or bad, you must
decide and fly an event. Also, there will be an altitude limit to launches
this year in Aerotow XC, not sure what that is yet, but Johnny needs to
see the towplane and that was an issue at 4K, which was not really
appropriate and it is a soaring contest not who can see the plane the
highest.
The "after hour event" title is for the line across the chart not after
HL on Friday. If you look to the right you will see HL Golf and the
Banquet and that is what is being refernced by this line, Tom could not
make the title outside the chart I would guess.
Hope that answers your questions.

Last time they let you fly either or both XC events.?? Aero-tow and
winch.? There was only one fee.? There is only winch XC listed on the LSF
site.? http://www.silentflight.org/NATS2006/Nats2006.html? but the entry
form has them separated.? There is also? "After Hours Events" listed on
Friday after HL.? What would that be??If the conditions were like last
time, it would be nice to have the option of flying in the aero-tow.?
Having to choose "only one" is difficult.? Anyone know if the aero-tow is
like last time, where you got towed as high as you wanted?? It mean't the
biggest plane got up 4000 ft, while the smaller ones 1000 ft.? If they
have a set height for release, and monitors at the field corners, then it
might be more fair and might be a factor in people's decisions.? Since
there is no frequency conflict issue, it would be nice if there was still
the option of doing both.?I have a vehicle this year, but need a driver
and observer.? I'm sure my last year's team will be doing scale aero-tow,
and I need my 10K for LSF and Canadian.? Anyone able to help out?? I have
two winches available if anyone needs me to bring a spare.?Tom
