To be honest with you, I don't think you need to know this. i've gone three years in road scholar up to Nats, and I've never had to answer a question regarding anything remotely close to UPS.
Problems are better pursued with General Electric GE90-115 engines.

2016 Nats:
Road Scholar:4th 8-)
Bottle Rockets: 9th
Meteorology: 11th
Gliders: 21st

(other events: Green Gen, Crime Busters, Helicopters, Hovercraft, Air trajectory)

Billy is traveling north on S Meridian Road. Onto which main road should he turn onto to get to Storey Park? (Zoom in towards the "Meridian" dot.)
"Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you." Matthew 5:11-12

I have no regrets.
