Default Atlanta Huckfest Pre-verdict: HUUUGE!

Heya Crew! Reporting LIVE! From the 2007 FlyingGiants Extreme Flight Huckfest in Atlanta, with well over 70 pilots already registered for a FRIDAY, this is looking to be the biggest Huckfest of 2007! All of our FG buddies from the east coast are here including Mr. Jagerbomb, Robert Vess and The Circus Crew, Jerry L, and countless others. The flightline is already PACKED, with music blasting through a killer audio setup. All of our FG friends continue to flow in, and tomorrow Mr. Hinson has some pretty cool stuff planned including a massive bon fire, night flying, and a bbq like no other. We're expecting well over 100 pilots throughout the weekend, and we'll be pumping back photos throughout the weekend, and stories from the flightline!

Enjoy this first of many photo floods to come.

Having a blast!

-MD & Crew

Now that you mention it, yes it is. However, it is a prototype and not a production model (yet). There may be changes between now and production, but I would bet it will be very similar. It is a mid wing Extra 300, span is 123". I attached a few more drool pictures taken earlier this week or you can view the video here:

That Extreme Flight 40% looks so good I'm going to out in the garage and throw rocks at my 260.
