I am sure once SleepyC gets his head back with it there will be many more photos. There was always a video camera running so I hope people remember most of us at the party have families!

Hahaha .. caught with the hand in the cookie jar, eh? ..... Some of you caught the wrath last night from the look of some of the ladies in attendance. That chick in the green & white was trying to "play it off" .. but I could tell what she was thinking ... LOL

Jumping on a plane right now, will have the Snapahuckfest wrapup ready when I hit the deck, along with a very cool perspective on a very interesting aspect of this event.

I'll tell ya this - the party last night was by far the most epic moments in FlyingGiants history. Today was a complete fog, but the flightline was still going!! Pre-wrapup thoughts - Elie totally outdid himself on this one - this one was totally off the hook!

Talk to ya soon -- MD

I was so pissed, I was in the middle of changing disc.

Here are a couple of pictures of the crowd before Saturdays rain.
I will post some YouTube links of some video that I had taken.

In all honesty, I did not expect this event to be as successful, I will speak the basics only, Max and Sleepy will handle the rest, I want to thank the FlyingGiants crew that helped me make it happen, Thanks also to those who traveled far and made this event a success, also a big thanks to our sponsors, AMA district 1, was on hand with district 1 VP Andy Argenio and his group, his demo flight was a shocker. The big shocker was the AMA president Dave Matheson representing the AMA which we all as AMA members appreciated his presence among us.
It maybe few days before I fully recover.

Thanks for an awesome weekend guys. Something groundbreaking happened (besides a certain prodigy kicking Bravo in the nuts), but that's for Max to explain.

And holy ****, who thought Andy could fly like that? And that he liked the Beastie Boys?

It was a great day! I heard all the stories about the event and especially what a night they all had too. Too bad I missed it. But I had a good excuse! I was taking care of my sick Dad. But he finally got better and flew back home yesterday evening. So I came as quick as I could!

I flew and had a great time!

Elie you looked so tired. I know you were. What a great event! I came in on the tail end and had a blast! Elie you know how to hold an event! This will be talked about all winter! LOL!

I snapped a few photos... Later:

Well, got back alittle earlier this evening and I rested some from the long drive. 1456 miles driven all this trip and the event was worth every mile. The new friends I met and the flying that was done will all be remembered fondly.

I am a donut eater and with all those Dunkin Donuts we came across even had me not wanting anymore. Man....I may never eat another one.

Going to the field on Thur, me and Sleepy found out the the roads are not marked very well. I will have aGarmin next time I go to that part of the country, but we found it after 2 hrs and we were still laughing about the riding around in circles.

The flying was great the first 2 days, and I was sorry that it was cut short by the weather.

The Cap after doing a great effort and successfull tail dunk into the pool, then to have it all change so quick. It was a shame for all those that had problems, but they were all still smiling. You all are great sports. Hope you all bounce back.

Snap.....Thanks for hold a fun event and having the great entertainment. I enjoyed it.

What can I say about Max.....He is Max. Good seeing you again, buddy.

Well anyone that has not made a huckfest yet, should try. You can have a good time with fellow FG members.
