- We have a "NARTREK" program that may do something for you. It's a
- program of graduated skill levels, where you earn patches after
- achieving certain types of successful flights. It starts off with
- easy things like 30-second streamer duration, and goes all the way
- up to original research work. You can get information and a membership
- packet by writing to NAR Headquarters at 71331.2506@compuserve.com.
