Hello Joe:

I'm not sure who all was involved in creating the AS Alaskan Poker Run, but I wanted to thank you (and others involved if they were), for a great event. I finished my seventh route today and greatly enjoyed each leg of the run. Picking Alaska and limiting it to props made for fun low and slow flying and sightseeing. Thank you and anyone else involved for this event. I look forward to a similar such event.

I'am done - one leg left - my hand sux
But all great flights - Thank you

Came to this late as I've been away on holiday in Greece. Great Idea !
Just completed my 4th flight.

With the event ending Sunday the 26th at 23:59Z, there's only a few days left to get your poker hands finished up and submitted (either by flying or buying).

Great event Joe (although I would have preferred better than a pair of queens!).

Had me flying into places I otherwise would have been unlikely to fly and using real weather I had some pretty hair raising approaches amongst the mountains!

Hope everyone else is enjoying the event and remember you only have a day or so left to fly and file your flights and show your hand!
