Default Joe Nall- Big Thank you

i just wanted to thank every one who came to the Joe Nall this year and made this the biggest one yet. We had 595 in registered pilots. We parked over 900 cars today in spectator parking. The BBQ was great. For those of you who were not there Wesse and Bill put on the costumes and had lots of pics taken. I am sure there will be plenty posted. We hope every one has had a great time. If you did not make it here this year, you need to make sure to be here next year. To all of you who helped out on the gate thanks. And ya'll remember "Ya'll come back now, ya hear........

Laura, Thanks to all that put in the hard work to make the Joe Nall the best event in RC. The work that went into the new area and way things ran, there are no words to describe.

Already counting down the days until next year.

I had a blast once again this year! The Confederate Air Farce does an amazing job putting on such an event!

Laura, it was a pleasure helping at the front gate as well as helping to get the new bath houses completed. Everyone has a great time and I have never seen it so busy! Already can't wait for 09'!

This was my first year attending Joe Nall, and it was awesome. Very well organized and run. Safety was just right, the two flight lines worked and the community was the best. I just wanted to say thanks to the organizers and friends that we met for making it a memorable week. Special thanks to Mike Chandley and family for feeding us and making us feel very welcome.

This was my first trip to Joe Nall. It was better than described and exceeded my wildest expectations. The ability to make new friends, rub shoulders with the finest R/C'ers in the world and to generally bask in the presence of so many nice people having so much fun was a treat. Next year, I'm staying for a week!....Thank you Pat Hartness and all of the crew at Triple Tree for your wonderful hospitality and hard work!

I got back home last night and slept most of the day. The rest I spent trying to figure out this borrowed camera so I could upload some video. This was my first Joe Nall experience and I can't hardly wait until next year. We had a blast even with some misfortune involving the bad ass airplane eating trees. If you've never attended before, mark your calenders for next year. It is a must show at least once. I enjoyed meeting several good folks and a ton of Giants members. I'm glad I brought those crawfish! That was a sure fire success that made for a fun night and started as just being dinner. Thanks to everyone that gave us a hand afterwards cleaning up and I'm glad all that stopped by. It was great to meet everyone and there was no negativity to be found all week. Great times with some great people. Joe Nall is first class all the way. You people did a hell of a job putting this event on seamlessly. I can't thank everyone enough. It was simply bad ass!!!

Laura, I had a blast. Thanks for all the hard work that you and the rest of the folks at Tripple Tree have done!

On a side note, how much money was raised for the folks whose house burned down?


50%


p.s. here's a video that I made of the event:
