ALL FLYING THE SAME DAY(s) BAC Weekend 8/22 to 8/23/2020

Did we only have one person do this? Heck, I was at a higher elevation than 99% of the BAC members and I was on the ground!

I can't remember now... I think I tried but the wildfires made too much smoke.

Hmm, I was up and remember posting. Maybe there's another thread?

I'll put you down for the PT Points

With due respect to my learned colleague Alan White DDS, he is supposing a fact (see #20 & #21) which is in error.
29 planes took part in the BAC Day Weekend.

Also, the flights did not qualify for President's Award points.

Tom Corcoran... who once flew with Alan White to Wyoming (and enjoyed it).

I thought everyone would get 100 pts for participating? Although I am learned, I have no idea what fact #20 & 21 are or where you are getting the 26 planes.

Alan takes a beating from me.
I don't intend it to be meanspirited.
However there are uncertainties which enter his posts.

I am just noting these uncertainties to keep the historical facts accurate.
"Did we only..."
"I'll put you down for.."
"I have no idea what fact #20 & 21..."
"I thought..."
"where you are getting..."

Alan is one of our hardest working members, though he may be smelling too much of that anesthesia he uses for dental surgery.

Tom Corcoran... Someone called me something recently which sounded like "FACT CHECKER."

Since when are you the "Keeper of the PT Points?" I say they count. With Covid and the lack of events, anyone who participated in anything this past year gets credit! As Oprah would say, "You get a hundred points and you get a hundred points and you..."

On FlightAware you can filter by type, actually multiple types. This picture is of all Sierras, Sundowners and Sports in the air at this moment in time...  I kept the filter up to 700 knots so I wouldnt accidentally filter out some of the Sierras.

I will be flying both days.  Unfortunately, not in a Baby Beech.  Do I get PT points?  ha ha
