Default Re: Vegas HuckFest.......It's a Wrap

I would like to thank everyone who helped my son and I looked for out Ulyimate this last weekend. This FG family is the best family anyone could ask for. I never new so many people in this FG flyers would give up there own time to fly to help out some one they have never met before. I thought the plane was gone forever but all of the FG family where the ones who kept my hopes up, thank god for them. I wish I could thank everyone in person but not possible. BUT I will thank MIKE GRASSO and his son helping my son carry that 40 pound air plane on his shoulders for over a mile I would not have my plane back the brush they were walking through was any ware from 9 to 12 feet tall. Mike you are one hell of a man and glad to call you my friend. I dont know how Im going to repay you but will try. All I can say guys is dont ever divorce this family, you will never have another one like them. Again thanks to ALL who helped look for our plane, a very happy ending on a very scary weekend.

You guys ROCK!

Just got back. What a blast spent with really great people. I have not had that much fun in a long time. The flying was awesome and the new friends even better. I can’t wait to do it again. A big thanks to everyone whose hard work helped put on a great show. Thank you for all for the hospitality and friendship.

that would be a fact.

It was way cool to have the heli land right on the runway and this guy gets out to give us the GPS coordinates.

A few hours later, out from the abyss pops the guys with the plane. Little mud on the spinner, and not a lot else.
