My Tucson Photo Album
Hey folks....
I finally got around to posting my photos from my first trip to Tucson.... as a first time sportsman pilot. (heck, I only solo'd 3 yrs ago...and I'm old!)..it was a bit overwhelming... but what a great experience... I posted all of my pictures at http://tucson.thepeaks.com/ I AM NOT a photographer... I didn't bother with all the freestyle pics as I knew there would be better ones here!  these are just snapshots....... things I wanted to remember.... just stuff.... someday I'll try to edit the page with captions...but for now it is just pics... click on a pic for a bigger version...... Thats it.... and for anyone thinking about it... the TAS was one of the most amazing experiences for me.... Cheers Curtis

Re: My Tucson Photo Album
Is that a DA 600??? I want one. Perhaps we should start a thread about when it will be out?

Re: My Tucson Photo Album
Nice photo's Curtis, is that the first time you met Wayne Geffon? And did you drive or Fly to Tucson? I've never made it there either and would like to some time. I'm sure you debated many times before making the trip?

Re: My Tucson Photo Album
Sadly, I have known Wayne for quite some time
and I drove.... it worked out to be about the same for me to drive or ship and fly (money wise) but MAN, the 33+ hr drive from Michigan is NOT fun!

Re: My Tucson Photo Album
Wayne seems like a cool dude. He helped me over the phone for an hour, and we have never met.

Re: My Tucson Photo Album

Evil....pure Evil Wayne is one of the best people I have met (I hope he doesn't read this...his chicken legs won't be able to hold his head up!) One of the Great memories I have from IMAC for the last couple of years and Tucson... if Wayne is there... You will be hearing laughter! and it is contagious!

Re: My Tucson Photo Album
Yes he is, I met him for the first time at the Toledo Show this year and he's a class act. He also helped me with a couple questions, plus he was willing to help me with my first IMAC contest. Curtis, I looked for you this year at the Toledo Show and they told me I just missed you. I'll try again in 2008 to catch up with you at Toledo. Ward |
