Monique had to work today so I went into town and watched the qualifications for the air races. There were a ton of people along the riverfront right near where the train station and the ferry terminal is, but the crowd thinned out the further down the river you went. In fact, if you went all the way down to Langley Park where the temporary airfield was set up, it was almost empty despite being the best place to stand on the north side of the river. I guess most people have a general aversion to walking.
After watching for awhile I figured out what most people probably already know: these pilots are nuts. -jp
