Default Who is going to Napoleon's night fly?

Bout a gazilion people there......
I am guessing 100 or so pilots and the rest of the folks were guests and spectators.

We were all talking flying till 4 am. About 1 am I hit the motor home and looked out about 2 and the lights were out, guess we wimped out

They turned the lights out for an hour or so for total darkness flying.

There were a flock of Zaggi's with lites on em. Every now and then one would go down and it was real neat to watch them!
Kinda like a star wars movie or something.

Dave and Jim had a couple awesome lighted helis

The food was more than great and I can tell you with all honesty I have never met a group more of a pleasure to be around!

The show was VERY were organized.

There were some fine pilots and several nuts. (A few were friends of mine but don't tell anyone please) A couple guys brought planes just for corn runs! Every seen a little overpowered speed demon pull up an inch to late and hit 7' high corn? Funny as heck with someone elses plane!

Darren Eaton took his 35% Carden Edge up in the lights. What a show that was!

I just got home and have several things to do but I would like to thank:
Jeff, Cork, Chris, Dean, Shannon, Dennis, Tom, Gene, Jim, Dave, Kim and all the Thistle Downs folks for another great time and the hard work they put into the event.(Wish I could remember all their names)
OOPS! Also Andrew, the torque rolling 4 year old!

Some pics will come soon..
