Watching planes land, turn off the engine and get pushed BACKWARDS was incredible!! All in all though a great event even though it was harder work than Ithought possible whilst sitting still!! Lots of pix upon the RCGecko's Picasa site .... Enjoy.... http://picasaweb.google.com/davelangridge the fulll scores and results can be found here :- http://www.mini-iac.com/2009NatsDail...2/Default.aspx

And thanks for the cool pics..

There's also the "Summer Sizzler" fly-in in Morehead City that we usually attend that same day. I'm personally leaning toward going to Henderson this time, though, and we'll have to see what the rest of the circus intends to do.

thanks! worked hard...shhheesshh..up at 6am, at the field by 7am and then get the network and laptops working together...the flow of scorecards, inputting, checking,m double and triple checking each other went on til about 6pm!!! then get the days photos uploaded, the scores off to the IMAC webmaster, food time, a quick beer and bed by around midnight!! It was worth it though to see these guys fly!! All three of us worked hard to make sure these guys had their scores by the end of the flying day, and mostly it happened

It looks like I have a job for as long as I can do it :*)

As for what did Kent get his award for, well,, it is for all the work he has been putting in on the Score program usage...teaching people how to use it, and lot of other things around that area...I"ll let him explain more if he wants to....but it was a real emotional evening at the awards ceremony with awards given out to a lot of people by the IMAC pres for jobs well done. The pictures really do not do it justice.
