Just a clarification...although it's not required to view the event page after every flight, you do have to after all 7 flights are completed. This will make sure your cards get generated *and* so you can submit your hand.

Hello Joe:

I'm not sure who all was involved in creating the AS Alaskan Poker Run, but I wanted to thank you (and others involved if they were), for a great event. I finished my seventh route today and greatly enjoyed each leg of the run. Picking Alaska and limiting it to props made for fun low and slow flying and sightseeing. Thank you and anyone else involved for this event. I look forward to a similar such event.

Great event Joe (although I would have preferred better than a pair of queens!).

Had me flying into places I otherwise would have been unlikely to fly and using real weather I had some pretty hair raising approaches amongst the mountains!

Hope everyone else is enjoying the event and remember you only have a day or so left to fly and file your flights and show your hand!

I did see that and smiled. I think Norm did even worse than you!
