Well guys this one is in the books, what a great event, and facility beyond belief and great hosts. This will be an annual event to make plans around. They used the Expo II hall in Wichita, Kansas. It was connected to the Hyatt Downtown, never had to go outside!! Ken Stitt of the Clearview Field was the mastermind of this event. www.clearviewfield.com

There was Micro-Mini flight area, Heli zones and general planes and 3D areas, plenty of room for all to fly and it was non stop from 7:30 am till midnight. There was a complete vendor area with 20+ booths, Food courts, face painting for kids and Yep Santa was there Saturday handing out candy! Raffles ran all day for pilot and spectator prizes. We had live broadcast for one of the TV stations, plus coverage from the other 2 major stations!

They had a great spectator area with bleachers and a safety net! There they had an F3P contest put together by Mike, Dana and Heather from Fancy Foam. There was a Freestyle Contest, Heli Smackdown, Pylon Race and all out Combat!

Winners:

Jason Noll - Pylon
Brian Chitty - Combat
Jamie Robertson - Heli Smackdown
Rick Chitty - F3P-C
Andrew Jesky - F3P-A
Brandon Chitty - Freestyle

Pilots traveled form New Jersey, Florida, Carolinas, Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, Texas, Arkansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Tennessee, California and South Dakota, as well as many locals from all over Kansas!

FG had good representation! Put this on your calendar for next year!
