Would have LOVED to get a ride, but no. We're in the process of arranging coverage from other worldwide RBAR events as we speak. Maybe next year for sure. Back to the photo flood, more video later this evening...

Next pilot up, Paul Bonhomme, winner of the San Diego RBAR. Paul was very cool to speak with. Paul is also the first place leader on the RBAR series, and like the others, is afraid of flying and crashing model airplanes.
