Hmmm... sounds like the Truckee pilot is a candidate for the popular
British sport "Ferret Legging":

***
Spectators stuff their pant legs inside their socks and women pull
their skirts tight around their legs so they won't become part of the
game. When the time comes for the game, tables are moved back and
everyone who wants to enter puts a ten pound note on the bar. Then
they get into a huddle like a football team. When everyone is ready,
they dump their ferrets down their pants and hang on to one another.

Within seconds the chase is on with ferrets racing up one pant leg,
over the top and down the other, not caring whose pants they are in
nor whether their needle sharp claws are attacking fabric or bare
skin. The attrition of players is rather rapid as they dance out of
the ring trying to shake ferrets out of their pants. The last man with
ferrets in his pants wins. Ferrets are returned to their cages while
the winner picks up the money and buys drinks for the house. It's a
lot more fun to watch than a chug-a-lug contest.

We had a pilot at Soar Truckee who was flying a Diamant on a 500K out
and
return badge flight. After takeoff he felt something crawling up his
pant
leg. After he got up well into oxygen altitudes, the crawling up his
leg
subsided, but continued again each time he got lower. Needless to say,
he
tried to stay as high as he could! He was able to complete the flight,
but
at the end of the landing rollout he jumped from the cockpit and pulled
down
his pants. A chipmunk ran off into the bushes. He deserved the
badge...

Hi Gill,
Long time, no see -- since the Calistoga days.

Interestingly, the pilot at Truckee with the chipmunk problem was also
British, and his contest number was UK. 'Nuff said?
