triangle (all the way back to start) with 1.5 multiplier. The "new" two 
additional tasks were effective 08/01/02.

of the flight within one week of the flight. 

Submit all flights (within 1 week of flight). Who knows what will win?

     stamped envelope is required for any correspondence
     requiring a return (i.e.: entry form etc.).
     E-mail correspondence and entry forms are acceptable, in
