Default Brave Sir Robin

Leaving a sanctioned contest in such a hurry without informing the CD opened TA up for a bit of leg-pulling. One contestant joked that Frank was trying to get his igc files out of the state before the FAA showed up! (they are actually still on the mountain in what's left of his loggers.)

His sudden departure was perceived by many contestants (including me) as a bit rude and thoughtless, especially since The CD was up and around and only a couple of hundred yards away from TA when he left.

However, despite being a Monty Python fan, I thought that the original post was a bit on the mean side.

Mike
