Question posed as to when Fellow Feather's first acquired use permit to fly Funston. Tom J. and Brent mentioned as early as 1972. If anyone remembers differently, please let us know!

Daniel Pifko brought up have a virtual air race by using GeoLadders gps tracking devices. This may require a 3-day seminar for many who fly Funston, but it was a nice idea nonetheless...
