Heydick, only Elie's closest friends know he waxes that orangutang unibrow on a daily basis!

What a perfect day at this unbelievable event. As always, lots of new and old friends with tons of laughs, CRAZY flying and comaraderie. Great to hang with Max, Kitman, Sleepy, Papa Joe and so many others again. Can't wait for tomorrow.

Also, a special thanks to the AMA, the local club ( I bet Bruce lost several pounds cooking all of us lunch in that sauna), Rudy (the airport owner), Steve (Sleepyc) Cinch for the killer Tshirt design and awesome job filling Max's shoes, Greg (Kitman) Poppel for keeping everyone amused and informed on the microphone all day and finally Max for just being Max.

Snap....you did it. Snap-a-Huckfest wouldn't be the same without you!!!!!!!!

More surprises this weekend....hope to see more of you there tomorrow.

Craig

I'm with Craig with the big thank you to everyone involved. It has been a couple months since Joe Nall, and it's great to be back together with the great group of guys from FLYING GIANTS.

The weather today was awesome for flying. Lite breeze at your back, blue sky, and plenty of empty airspace. I arrived on site a little late and was only there for 10 minutes (didn't even have time to register) before Elie was after me to get my plane together for the hover gaggle. I was in such a hurry I forgot to put smoke oil in the tank, and kept wondering why the smoke wasn't working. So far I haven't seen any good shots of all 5 planes down on the deck in a hover.

Looks as though tomorrows weather will be cooler and maybe a passing shower, with a lite breeze. With the cooler weather I am hoping to see some extreme down on the deck 3D Huckin.

Thank you to the new AMA CD (yes he is actually a CD) Elie for making this all possible!!!!
