US Team members will be here in force. Currently registered are Gary Ittner and Chip Garner. Mark Keene is hoping to attend and I will be the CD. One of our goals is to have this run similar to a camp. Where a US team member will give a talk before or after the pilots meeting and maybe someone will feel so kind as to make a donation.
