Very kind Tilaco, thanks! We also had a lot of luck with the weather, as after 4 great days, monday rained heavily in Santiago.

We also where lucky in the flights, zero crashes during the event, and the only mishaps where bent landing gears from some pilots wich found somewhat difficult to land their jets piloting at the headings.

The only crash happened when a brand new F-4 was test flown (wisely) after the end of the event. The cause of the crash was a builder error in the elevator linkage.. sad to see but fortunately he understood his mistake and bet that he will never make it again.
