My particular issue is that I don't "own" BB, but it's printed on my tail. At one point I "owned" 2BB, but shouldn't any more because I haven't paid the fee in years.

More to the point, many pilots fly different gliders at different contests, and the "ownership" of tail numbers is pretty broken. Many are taken by pilots who never fly contests, and most contest pilots consequently just put whatever they want on the tail. And keep a roll of tape around to put a "1" in front of it if a "real" owner ever shows up.

It would probably be better to link pilots to spot pages by ssa numbers. Those are required to fly a contest, and are a lot more stable and attached to the pilot than contest numbers.

Understood this is a small glitch that will wait for the winter.

For wasting time in the office, I just punch up the site and see all the gliders. Interesting that Cesar Creek seems to be on strike about uploading their tasks so that's the only way to watch them.

2BB or not 2BB....ok, I've had enough fun with that one...
