I guess what started this whole thread was Gordys comment about a team consisting of pilot AND plane. If a "team" is to be listed, it should be pilot and TIMER. Time and again the value of a good timer is overlooked, instead focusing on the latest and greatest planes being flown. Perhaps in the results, pictures, etc, the truly important team member,the timer, should be included. Walter --- GG
