Well, its all over but the celebrating. The FlyingGiants would like to congratulate all the contestants in this year's XFC. You are all winners just for being in the competition. One of the competitors summed it up best. He was holding his plaque talking about how some of his friends would rib him about his finishing position, and this is what he had to say, "They can talk all they want, this will be hanging on my wall. Not theirs!"

Sunday, the only thing hotter than the runway was the sequences flown by the pilots. As the wind picked up, so did the level of competition. Even mother nature tried to cool them off with a nice little thunder storm. It didn’t work. As soon as the rain stopped the flying continued. With everyone just turning it up that one last notch. The competition was over and everyone I talked with waiting for the final results was saying the same thing, "I glad I wasn’t one of the judges. It would have been a daunting task to decide the winners."
