Jack, I was not proposing adding more days, I was proposing adding days to the more popular events at the cost of the less popular (less attended) events. I do not get to go to the Nats very often but when I do go, I go and volunteer along with my flying, so I know what you mean about the long days and such. I was a member of the winch crew and was usually there from dawn to dusk and enjoyed myself emensely. I think the organizing committee should look hard and long at some events and see if it would benefit attendance to make a few changes. When I get to attend next, I am sure I will be flying all of the events I have planes for and helping at the ones I don't, either way I will be having fun.
