Tucson Aerobatic Shootout Question

Edge540 Freak · 08-07-2007, 04:41 PM

So this will be my first time ever attending this event and i'm just going to as a spectator. I was wondering from you guys that have been there before, what days would be the best to go down. Like right now I'm planing on being there wednesday through sunday, except I'm leaving sunday afternoon. So my real question is whether or not I should stick around through sunday. Like will I be missing out on a lot leaving sunday afternoon or will it get over before...say like 4:00pm? I'm just trying to make the most out of the trip down so I would apprecitate some input. Really looking forward to it!
Thanks

Freestyle is only flown on Sat and Sunday. Flying "should" be finished around 3:00 on Sunday. I would try to see as much of Sunday as you can.

Edge540 Freak · 08-07-2007, 05:06 PM

Do you have an idea of what time they announce the winners sunday?

DATech · 08-07-2007, 05:18 PM

It varies, depending on weather and the flight line pace throughout the day. It's "usually" by 4:00.

I like your avatar edge!!! It is strange that you make a post like this. My whole family are huskers and my grandpa will be comming down for the first time to. When I saw this post I thought you were him!

Awesome! Fellow Husker fans!
Hey i saw that you're 15? Well I'm 15 too and pretty stoked about going down! Have you been to Tucson before?

Durango kid got pushed around by bosses and couldnt go. Seriously though, I was pissed that I couldnt, I was looking forward to meeting up with you guys to. Almost quit my job but thought ahead of time. Missing out on that comp ruined my hopes of competing in the shootout this year. Edge I have gone to the shootout the last couple of years, you wont be dissapointed, it is a great experience to get you motivated to buy a 40%........ my grandparents have a house down there so maybe we will throw a keger for camp jackass....or maybe just fruit punch and my grandmas great cookies lol.

Do you compete at the shootout? What planes do you have; are you sponsered by anybody?
Sounds like the shootout is pretty awesome. Do you ever get to talk with the big name ppls like QQ and the rest?
