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.

Great write-up Sam, and great job out there busting your butt all weekend! Hope the wife isn't too mad at us for stealing you for the whole weekend!!!

The event is only as good as the fun-loving & friendly folks that show up! Thanks to everyone that came! It was great to meet a bunch of people that I only knew online, and great to see some familiar faces too!

Thanks for the kind words, I'm really just the Yoko Ono around here!!
