Vogons

Our letter of agreement that allows us to fly above 18000 feet at Mount Washington expired at the end of last year.

We asked for a renewal of the agreement last month, and last week we received the official reply from the FAA: our permission is renewed with an effective date of September 1, 2009 and an expiration date of December 31, 2008.

When informed of this discrepancy by telephone, the FAA told us to disregard the letter and to expect an amended letter to arrive in the mail. No apology. In fact, they sounded a bit annoyed.
