is OK.

contests (the annual

winner is Canadian,

If they fail to

winner.

| Why would they do that? Assuming the winner to be a
Canadian Pilot, why
| would they test their apptitude?
|
| Also in that respect, if they are trying to not give the
airplane to a total
| moron, why wouldnt they do the same to an American winner?
