OLC has done a great job of making weekend cross country flying
interesting. Being a senior citizen with a somewhat competitive
nature, I am discouraged by the necessity to fly a lot of really long
(5-7 hour) flights in order to place well in the OLC standings. Most
of the time, after flying about 4 hours, more flying is somewhat like
making love to a skunk.

I have been wondering if other pilots would be interested in a OLC
catagory for FAI flights that could be completed within a time of 3 to
3.5 hours. The best flight would be the fastest speed achieved around
a FAI triangle with a flight time of three hours or more.

While the OLC league does score on speed over a limited time, doing
well in the OLC league requires a group effort.

Comments please.
