Thanks =)

It takes place in May at the Valdez airport. (usually around the 8 to the 10th)

Also could Google Valdez May Day fly in

Every year it seems like the attendance is almost doubling. There was a lot of airplanes there this year (2009) and that was even though the weather was really bad the day before (or so I was told), so a lot of people flying in had to turn back.

what is dq????

[Mosquito9958]

DQ stands for Disqualification.

If the front/main wheels touched down before the white line, then the landing distance was counted at maximum distance (I think max that year it was 400 feet.).

Their main wheels were allowed to land ON the line for this year of competition. (the previous year, if the front wheels touched the line at all it was counted as a disqualification for your landing distance)
