Great event guys. It's hard to believe that a great event could be only an hour away. Guess this is going to spoil us when we're faced with the 6 & 7
hour drives to St. George, UT/Fresno-Madera/Mesa, AZ, etc. The OCMA site was perfect, especially for those seamingly unlimited vertical guys. It truly was enjoyable getting together with familar faces and meeting new ones also.
My son could not be more estatic over his first "official" event as a pilot.
After his garnering of the "Best Scale Flight" award, I jokingly requested help in compressing his head so it would fit in the car for the ride home. Fabulous job Mike, Bill, Larry and all the support staff. First class event, and one that I know will become one of the country's premier events. Thanks to John Redman for giving Corey some stick time on the Bobcat. Now the 12 year old is houndin' me for a Tam Jet Pipe with that other thing in front of it for his F-15...thanks alot. Jason, Joe and all you other envelope nudgers...great show, as always. My buddy Mark Padilla, I am so proud of the way you handle yourself, and your spectacular heli show on Sat. more than made up for Sunday's shorter demo. In fact, you'd need five more spectacular crashes to match Saturdays' amazing performance. You should be proud. Shaun, way to belt out the anthem. Fitting beginning to a great day.
Again, great event to all involved and, thrilled to have been a part of it.
