Strangely last night MSP-FAR was an A320 but you are correct - loads of CRJ200s this weekend.

Oh and BTW - I am back in MSP Skyclub. Just in the F club but about to go to C12 AGAIN!

How much did you net from selling your vendors?

Enough that it paid for the table and then a little extra.

The HJEMKOMST CENTER..tried to go there but they seem to close up up shop already at 4 or 5 PM....same as the Fargo flight museum.
I spent a lot of time in FAR in the 90's and liked the place and people a lot.

Miserable weather today in New Orleans. There were 11 cars of a freight train blown off the Huey Long Bridge and a TV film crew happened to be there and filmed it happen.

I saw FAR and thought you were discussing FAR clauses.

Sorry to disappoint you. If I had been, it would only have been about Solicitation Clauses.

As a clueless dutchman in the USA i can see why (same with the Minnesota people mentality).
Only minor gripes are the amount of CRJ's they are using at FAR (and at GFK) & the weather in the winter. No visibility beyond 50 yards in those blizzzards and it actually hurts to breath once outside.
Grouchy remembers walking from the Ralph Engelstand Arena to the parking spot some 3/4 miles away after a match wearing EU 'winterclothes'.
....That was actually a stupid thing to do.

Speaking about the weather after windy/raining FAR it's nice to arrive at TLV and then Nazareth with lots of sun and temperatures around 92-94

50 yards is Cat III-b.

Good winter drivers here are capable of Cat III-c driving: Roll down the windows & stay between the ditches.

Enjoy it while you can -- it is supposed to get much cooler on Thursday.
