Default 2007 Tucson Shootout Raffle Plane Pics up!

Hello,

Well its that time again. Im posting some Pics of the TAS Raffle Plane before it heads to Tucson. You will notice a tribute scheme for our fallen Pilot Jim Leroy. I was fortunate to meet him once at an airshow and he was very gracious to let us see the plane and answer questions.

I felt that since we in the aviation community in R/C or Full scale. Our love for flying has a common thread. So I decided to make this years plane a tirbute to Jim. Please come by the booth and and support the event. We would like to also thank all our sponsors below. Without them the plane would now be complete. We will see you guys on thursday of next week.

Take Care

John

Hello,

You have to be there to buy the tickets, but not there when the ticket is drawn. Winner if not present will get with Desert on shipping it back out.

Later

John
