Looks like things are underway, a friend of mine is down there and sent me this photo of Ali's new 104.
I thought the Skymaster version was large, I don't know any info about it, but it's on my list!

The 104 flew around 3 today. Very impressive plane and great flying by Ali!
Size does matter.

Awesome day, a little windy but crazy till the flight line got shut down at 6 for about 90 minutes of perfect weather.

I took 14G and 3200 pics, let me get them sorted, all the half frame and out of focus ones deleted and I'll post a link.

Hey Billy, did you bring the new F100 to fly?

Sure does look a lot better than Ohio right now.

Wow I had a few friends coming to see the F100 fly and make a buying decision. I guess that made decision to go another direction easy.

I have some bad news, it comes from a good source, but with little detail.
Seams an accident has occurred, an Aurora has crashed into the pit area, there was a fireball and they are apparently airlifting someone with burn injuries, my prayers go out to all involved.

No he is from the Miami area, but there was another plane flying at the time of the crash, apparently it just disintegrated in the air, my guess is the pilot was shocked and yanked the sticks at speed, hope to have more info once it all settles down.
