Max, Momo, and Wiz...

Great coverage and great camera work shooting the sequences. Shooting airplanes is HELL and you guys did a great job with it.

I don't know how you guys find the time to get to every event but you do and do a great job.

-Brad or "Al" rather...

Thank's Wiz, Max and Momo.
I know what a task it is to what you guys do. It's greatly appreciated.
On a side note; I can't stop watching Gernot's video. That is the closest thing I've ever seen to an aerial ballet. Amazing.

Thats exactly what I think about Gernot's videos also, They all flew especially great this event, It's just Gernot's really looked like it stood out to me also.

And I already thanked Max and crew (momo) in another thread, just wanted to tell Wizard, how much we loved his work, and offer a special thanks.

Chuck

Thanks Chuck - we did things a little different this time around and decided to forgoe the webcast in an effort to bring near realtime filmage that will be around for everyone to see now and in the future. Most of the time only a few can view the webcasts, then they are gone - this event was too important in our eyes to miss.

Friday night Mike and I were in lockdown in the hotel room cranking on this stuff while Momo was back in Cali posting the videos, and photos from articles that we wrote, and pics we took during the day. It was aaaaaaalot of work, and when Saturday night rolled around, it was tough to even check out a 'puter screen without going blind!

Currently, there are over 1500 photos in the XFC Big Events Gallery which can be found here:

Thanks again guys, hope you are enjoying the media flood!
