Default XFC 2009

Part of the 2009 invitation list is finalized, and I'm starting to receive confirmations from the airplane competitors that will be attending this coming year. We're looking forward to a great competition and with some new entries that will challenge for the title!!
The XFC committee is working on making a few changes to make the competition even MORE exciting than it has been in the past. Look for some "down in the dirt" flying and some new additions to the Night Fly that will be off the hook!!

Confirmed:

Tim Fulk
Seth Arnold
Jason Danhakl
Terry Hahn
Manuel Santos

Guys! There are several spots still open plus the last chance qualifier on Thursday so get those videos submitted(see web site) to have a shot at some serious money and be a part of the most
exciting event held all year. Glad to have you aboard Seth.
Everyone should attend just to see what Terry blows up this year! Way too much time on his hands.
