My wife and I just pulled into the driveway around 4pm est. We had a really great time. We saw so many good friends. This is our second full year of jet events and it has been great meeting so many wonderful people that have the same interest and fun to hang out with.
We also had the honor of meeting some new friends from Brazil, Mexico, Germany and from down under. Wow where else can you go and share the excitement of flying turbines and meeting so many great people.
Got to give a shout out to my friend from near by NC Lee Levison. He didn't make the trip due to a health issue. Lee first of all if I missed spelled your name my bad! Get well and we hope to see you at First Flight if not East Bend.
Wow talk about new jets and kits they were everywhere. Billy D and the gang had their stuff and Jim was flying the wings off of the Viper again. Jose from Global let me static my new EF2000 at their booth. I hope to have it up in the air at FF. We got to see the 1/5th Skymaster f-16. My buddies at Chief had 2 on display and I sure one was sold and gone before Friday afternoon. I WANT one!!
BVM..what can you say they always show up with goods. Dustin was putting on a show at half time. I love his gear up gear pass!
Eric from JC was there and helping everyone like always. Comp Arf was their showing off the big birds with Andy Kane flying his Tucano.
Boomer RC from Australia were here also. The have some really cool products. They also shipped over a Viper that I believe wore out the turbine in because every time I looked up it was flying. They also had a large F-86 in their booth. They were nice enough to loan me a splash of fuel for my last flight on Saturday.
I know I am missing some of the other people like the Mississippi gang. Bill and guys are a blast to be around. Never boring.
Mike and Georgia jets guys were there and We are looking forward to their event later this year. It is Awesome!!
Great to meet Frank from Illinois and enjoyed letting you have fun with the Hawk.
Bob I really appreciate the spot and finally getting to meet Bobby and looking forward to seeing his Hawk fly in person.
Bob and Amy we really enjoyed hanging out and pitting together all week. Bob you have the coolest electric jet out that I have seen. I know you we love your new jet and I hope you will always fly the UPS jet. It always delivers.
I have a few cool videos using the slow motion on the Iphone I will post soon and I did a video of line on Saturday for the spectators.
