What about this idea.
At the end of the year the magazine lists all the best scores in the various categories of record attempts? State by State.
There's so little that's interesting now in the magazine and so much "filler crap" that I'm sure the Mag could spare a few pages for these top record attempt flights being listed.
I mean they burn pages every month in the Milestone column of pilots we will NEVER see again.
And those couple of monthly columns that I can't even read their so bad/boring.
Good Idea? Or too much work?
Anybody else got ANY ideas? Anybody?

Hi Nick
I gotta think that recognizing best performances in the preceeding year is a way to meet your original intent, that is giving people something to shoot for/bragging rights.
Certainly where I come from there are big obstacles to doing things in as free a fashion as in years gone by (airspace restrictions is a big one) but recognizing and encouraging best performances and record attempts can only be to the betterment and advancement of soaring.
It's great to be having this discussion
