The event is only a couple weeks out. What pilots from the Giants are attending and what are yall flying? I'm taking the old trusty Dalton 260 and my 37% AW 300L as a backup, same birds as last year. Mike, glad you are flying this year, you'll have a good time. I'll probably be at the field Wednesday evening.

Hi every one!
i will go, but unfutunately i have to leave my invitation to participate in the XFC...

I have being selected by one of the most prestigious Publicity agency in mexico, to perform one of the best jobs i have ever had, i have to take photos in Europe for a product that is going to be new here in mexico,
my travel takes in Amsterdam,Paris ,Italy ,Venetian ,and in Switzerland taking photos over there,this trip will take me 3 weeks and 2
more here to do the post production and the retouching.

So in the deep of my heart it will be nearly impossible to practice for the XFC 2006,some times there are oportunities once in a life.

i will be sorry not to compete but at least i will go to see all of you....

i´ll send you some photos i took in my trip....

see you there!!

KELLY, GLAD YOU WILL BE GOING THIS YEAR, ATLEAST THERE WILL BE SOMEBODY ELSE FROM FLORIDA THAT I KNOW THERE. I SHOULD BE AT THE FIELD AROUND 4 THURSDAY, I WILL GET WITH YOU AND SEE WHATS GOING ON. WHAT HOTEL ARE YOU STAYING AT?

GIVE ME A SHOUT IF YOU NEED ANYTHING KELLY OR WANT TO SHOOT THE BREEZE. Michael.Elder@pgnmail.com

my only concern is not having ample enough time to practice for the contest, but hey, I WILL HAVE A FUN TIME ANYWAYS.

MIKE
