Well, the idea is just lying on the table, let´s wait and see what the management guys think about this suggestion.;)

That´s too much complicated.
I suggest the idea of something similar to the red bull race that took place in Barcelona. I think, it eould be nice to count the time of every pilot (because flying all together could be dificult and even dangerous!!:%

You idea is alot more complicated! Just think due to lag how inacurate the times would be. The 'rat race' would be the best option, and you could always use dual runways, or even KATL to fit everyone on.
EHM-1633 José:
I understand your point of view, but how and who is going to set the start (I mean where is going to be the start line and the finish) and how pilots are going to be able to form a line in the air to start the race.
Departing from KATL or KLAX would be OK, but i don´t think everyone could take off at the same time, groups of pilots should be formed. It could be made like the FIFA world cup classification matches (groups of 4/5 pilots and the one who wins will be classified to fly against the other pilots classified from the other groups). Don´t know if I have explained myself well.:%

Have a relay race, pilots form in pairs, say we have then we can make a course around the airfield....using VOR's and NDB's, one the pilot has compleed the course, correctly as judged by conrad, the next person goes...the winner can get an award....
Basically, when the first pilot finnishes the course, Race control gives the second pilot clearence to take off....
If I pilot departs before cleared, then it results in disqualification, and if the course is completed incorrectly, the waypoint must be rounded again, winner also determined by Race control....
The aerobatics team is way to hard...Tim and I have tried it numerous times to no avail....but formation flying as part of the VFA is good fun....:8
