Pensacola Jets 2011 is UNDERWAY!!!
At last, Pensacola Jets is back!!!
It started out COLD this morning, and I was worried it would put a damper on things. But, Mother Nature cut us a break and it warmed up nicely! The wind got up a bit in the morning, but at least it was down the north-south runway. The wind calmed down after noon and it was picture perfect flying weather!
I'd like to thank again all the folks that made it out to Holley today. The turnout was impressive, especially for a short-notice event. Tomorrow should be even better!
In the next posts are some pictures of today's flying....enjoy!

All right, that's it for today. I apologize if the picture quality is less than ideal. I took them with one of those pocket-sized cameras, plus I freely admit I'm a rank amateur when it comes to photography

Y'all should advertise or something b/c I had not heard about this little event until I was going to my g/f's house (which happens to be about .5mi from NOLF Holley) and I saw a small sign at the end of the road.
Anyway...I didnt speak to anyone mostly because I didnt know anyone but I did get a few videos with my phone. Please excuse the large file size but I dont feel like encoding them to make them smaller. So enjoy.
Btw....anybody in the area fly regular little rc planes? I've been wanting to get one but have no idea where to start. This was actually why I stopped by b/c I thought it was just a few people with little rc planes. Did not realize it was going to be like it was. Exceeding all my expectations. Y'all have some really cool planes.

Also, in the past there were 'wind feathers' and signs from JR, Horizon Hobby, and Futaba that were posted out by the road, but we didn't have them this time. That is also on the checklist for next year.
OK, now to go through my camera and sort out the pics!

Here's the crowd. I just cannot say enough about how much I appreciate the turnout and support of the event, especially on such short notice and the uncertainty that prevailed early on. Again, my heartfelt thanks to the rc jet community for your support. This will go a long way in helping us reestablish Pensacola Jets.
