I flew in the highschool event earlier this year. And it was beyond
hectic. People walking everywhere heater was on. A mess. I had the
longest flight of the day but it was a practice flight. My plane was
built to minimum weight but lost to a plane that weighed 1+ grams over.
The heater just destroyed my flight. But it was fun!

Bill,

Thanks from all of us for the great story! There have been some weird
incidents about S.O. and TSA reported on the net over the last decade
or so but you have topped the list and the some! From now on, we can
all take heart in that things could be a lot worse!
