2009 TEAM USA F3A - FG FUND RAISER

[Boulder]

This crew ROCKS!!!

I'm going to another Pattern contest this weekend, we'll have some great flying goin' on, of course I'm not one of the better ones, just there to keep from embarrassing myself...

All of the Pattern fliers in this area are aware of what you guys are doing here on the Giants, and are seriously impressed with your generosity...let's not let it stop here!!!

Thank you Flying Giants for all you've done and all you will do, you all totally ROCK!!!

Good deal. Add $30 to that (I'm already in for $100 first time) and I'll match anything past it up to another $100 from you, how's that?? Can't do $10,000 right now.

Pattern fliers have been donating at every contest, purchasing tshirts and stickers.

Also, there is a pass the hat at most major events... Tucson Shootout and Clovercreek last year both contributed to the Team.

What a great hobby where we can pull together to support those who excel and represent our country, how jealous I am but couldnt be more proud of the guys that represent us.

Go Team USA.

I got the 43% Cover from Plane Wrappers, it's worth every penny! This is a deal that everyone on FG should take advantage of.

Agreed, their covers are very nicely done and well made. I wish I had gotten one a long time ago!!

That's cool.

I want to take a moment to thank all of the Flying Giants community for their support of the USA F3A Team.
It would be pretty accurate to describe the F3A World Championships as the R/C precision aerobatic Olympics.This year's competition will have pilots representing 40 nations from around the world.
Unfortunately unlike the Olyimpics we don't have the likes of a Nike,General Motors or Wheaties to step up and help pay the bills. We rely on a small group maufacturers , distributors, clubs and supporters like yourself to make ends meet.In the best of times it's been a challenge to secure funding ,and in our present economy,it hasn't gotten any easier.So I urge all of you out there to help out if you can and a big thanks to those that already have. Believe me, there are few more rewarding and powerful moments you can have in life than to stand on a foreign nation's soil and see "Old Glory" raised and hear "The Star Spangled Banner " played. Let's bring home the gold.
Best regards,
Tim Jesky
p.s. Sleepy,
Mine and Linda's donation in honor of Kirby McKinney has been sent.
