The raffle plane was won by a YORK "????" (I forgot his last name, but he was from Utah.

I'm at the airport trying to get home.
Once again Price line.com has hosed me... and I'll probably be stuck for a month here in Pheonix...

Note to self.. PRICELINE SUCKS.. they don't really take care of connecting flights on different airlines, they just pretend to.

I have sand in places that sand should never be, I'm sun burnt and wind burnt and I can still say I had the best time in a long time.
Great flying, good buddies, and beautiful scenery. What more could you ask for!


Kiwi does have more videos and he was making an effort to upload them this morning.

And don;t forget to check the TAS gallery, I uploaded over 1000 pictures and still have a few more to go!

My perception is this is a contest where your A-Game needs to inlude being able to deal with a number of austere flight conditions including: High PA, High Winds, Extreme Xwind, Sand/dirt, and killer competition. I dont think its for everyone.

Tucson is great! Aussies get to practice on the moon, and almost everyone who attends gets to try to land their plane in a 20+ MPH crosswind. Congrats to Mark for the win! I hope Jason N. gets up there one day. That dude is very dedicated to the sport. Oh, and thanks to Desert Aircraft for once again putting on this awesome event. Can't wait to see all the awesome film footage!
