Default RE: Visiting Manaus - FigueiraJet 2011

And now another fun part that I know you guys will love. The campinas gang of evildoers shamelessy copied the idea of our 2005 jet speed event and without paying any royalties for the copyright and intelectual property they started a GPS race to see who was the fastest plane at the event, but with a slight twist to make it more scandalous.

For having the right of competing, you should pay $100.. biggest speed takes the money. After many flights without incidents, 9 pilots competed and Luis Fernando from Goiania won the $900 with his bandit. His best run was 283 mph, and David took a very narrow second place at 280 mph with his Ultra Flash. This where very good numbers for regular, unprepared planes. Manoel and I, didn´t competed as his P120 barf and my Roo aren´t speed demons.

The Campinas mischiefs didn´t warned us of this idea, as of course they know we fly over 400 mph in Curitiba since 2005!

Anyway, Luis and the equipe verde e amarela deserves the thropy and the money, as he was the fastest guy that place.
