yeah it was briggs. he was sooooo damn good.

i didnt go into the show =( i sat in the free seats! my wife and i had just had a big weekend and didnt have enough money $$ to get in. $60 is quite steep. so we just sat on our car with beer and wine and had a great time lol.
i heard there was a model display tent and was gutted i couldnt go in =(
the show gave my wife a new love for the planes and now understands why i like them so much so hopefully she will let me spend more $$ to upgrade hehe

Yup I was in the tent for a bit, but only for about half the time. I won't start a debate, but mode 2 felt right for me from the start too
