Looking forward to it Roger. I'm sure it'll garner a large amount of entries.
Who's going for it?

RE: US TEAM QUALIFIER FOR JWM
The best guess our organizing group had at the meeting last fall was 25 competitors. Over the last 6 months the number of inquiries would probably indicate more than that....but as we all know there is usually a difference from I'm gonna to here I am ! Anyway we are planning on that estimate for the time being.
It should be noted that the venue is set up for the annual Route 66 Jets so our runway 4,003' by 75' is closed to full scale and does not intersect with the another runway of similar dimensions.
The Airport & City can accommodate a rather infinite number of competitors, helpers, supporters, family, spectators, tents, motor homes, etc.
Oh yea, I posted the Qualifier Tuesday and received the first Registration from Bryce on Wednesday so who knows what the opportunity will produce?

It will first be viewed at the Cal Jets V thanks to David Searles volunteering to post at their annual. I will be seeking similar volunteers for various events through out the summer.</font></p>

RE: US TEAM QUALIFIER FOR JWM
ALRIGHT, NOW YOUR ARE TALKING AN ALL AMERICAN PATRIOT ON IT'S WAY TO TOP GUN.
THISIS A VERYAPPROPRITATE SUBJECT FOR THE JET WORLD MASTERS QUALIFIER.
IT WILL BE MOST APPROPRIATE FOR THEJWM AT THE US AIR FORCE MUSEUM IN 2011.
GOOD FLYING AND GOOD LUCK TO BETSY AND SCOTT HARRIS.

So, any jet could be used to qualify? Are you basically saying that the qualifyer is a flight skill qualifyer and is not going to judge the scaleness of a jet etc? If so this is a huge deal as there is more time to get a jet ready.
