Anybody in the top 10 last year had a good shot of winning, and it looks like it will be that way or more again this year. Received word of a couple of competitors have crashed in practice already. Looks like they're all "bringing it" this year!!

For anyone who is thinking about going to the XFC.....stop thinking about it and just show up. This event has some of the best flying with both airplanes and helicopters you have ever seen. It will definitely keep you interested and on the edge of your seat. It is an event that once you go to it.....you will always go back to.

I burned 3.5 gallons practicing today. The manuvers this year are definitely tougher than last year! I'm sure you're all in for one heck of a show. The new venue will make the show alot better.

Default What's the schedule for coverage?

Is there live video from the site?
Is FlyGiants doing interviews with the greats?
Is there a daily report with video and talking heads? I'm looking for ESPN level coverage of a spectacular event!
