Default WR Aerobatics Puerto Rico

Dearest Puerto Rico,

We thank you so much for the wonderful hospitality. We are constantly talking about the event and the wonderful people that made it possible. Everyone was great!!! We not only enjoyed the wonderful WR Aerobatics Show, we also enjoyed the country and its people. No words can describe this event that was held by WR unless you were a part of it. It was a large family!!! Thank you Wilson, Jay, Richard, Pilots, and all of the people that made it possible. You have the best event anywhere!!! We will miss you!!!

TEAM HIGUCHI

I also wanted to take the time to thank the Wonderful people of Puerto Rico, especially Wilson, Richard, Jay and Raymon for the wonderful show! We all had a blast and had a great time. The whole show went great except for Yurri's last day show. Yurri's plane had a date with earth that I think he knew about 10 seconds prior to the plane knife-edging into the ground out of a knife edge loop. Sometimes all the rudder in the world just isn't enough. Yurri is a great guy, sorry to see that happen.

I also wanted to thank Mike McConville, Mark Leeseburg, Jason Shulman, Ivan Guiterez, and Bill for the wonderful time. It's always fun to be around a good bunch of guys.

Take Care,
-Jason Noll

Like Jason I also I want to say a HUGE Thank You to Wilson (Chapy), Jay, Raymond, Gordy, Jose, Richard, Bobby and all of my new friends in PR. You guys did a great job pulling off the show which was no small task. Your hospitality was awesome! You all made it a lot of FUN, and PR is a beautiful place.



Also thanks to Mark Leseberg, Jason Shulman, Jason Noll, Ivan Guiterez, Bill Richie and Yuri H for your great flying and great company. I loved watching you guys fly your routines, even though you all made me feel old. You guys are awesome pilots!! Flying would be pretty meaningless w/o great friends to share it with!!

Like the rest of you...I also had a great time. From the 36 hour first "day" of the trip to the mad rush through the "parking lot" of traffic on drive to the airport, it was a great trip. Wilson, Raymond, Jay, Richard, Jose, Junior, Gory and all the rest of the WR crew did a fantastic job of putting on an awesome airshow. I sure hope they are already making plans again for next years show...

Mike, glad I wasn't the oldest pilot there...LOL. Ivan, you sure have a steady TR and makes for launching and catching your plane real easy. Jason N, next time borrow something other than a Shulman CA Extra, you already make me look old with your Carden stuff. Yuri, sorry about your loss, I know how it feels (many times over) but I guess you'll have to finish the next plane(s) now. Bill, glad to actually "meet" you now and look forward to a lil trip in a month. And Mark, the rolling machine... all I can say is that I can only wish to have your reflexes but glad that I have your friendship.

Here are some pictures I took while down there.

No words can explain our gratitude for you all main event pilots that took visit in our beloved island to make our main dream to become a reality. Wr Aerobatic Team of Puerto Rico thanks you all to be with us and to make aeromodelism history all together in our island. Hope you liked, also hope to make arrangements for next year and bring more pilots.

Also thanks to the prime members who molded and fight with their heart to give birth to this event. Thanks to my brother Wilson , for give me the opportunity to "live the dream", Thanks to Jay and all his helpful computer skills as webmaster, thanks to the Ravens crew, Geovanny, Erito, Wilfre, Junito, you are all pure breed ravens. The Club Staff, starting with Richard, Gustavo, Ricky, Frankie, Ricardo Mirandes, and all envolved directly or indirectly in the event. Thank you all.

I want to cite a thought of my friend McConville : " Flying would be pretty meaningless w/o great friends to share it with" and , i ll add that friends like you all guys are more than friends to us, you are our heros, our hobbie family"

goodbless you all and see you next year...

Keep it Up Raven...

Raymond Zapata

Ps. Jaaasssoon Shulmaann, im triyng to reach you....

The trip to PR was the best ever!!!! We all took the wives down for a few days early and enjoyed the sights. PR is breathtaking!!! We all did a Catamaran Snorkeling trip to the East side of the island, where some of the best snorkeling can be done in the Caribbean. As a matter of fact the Palominitos Island we went to is voted the best in the Caribbean!!! We also enjoyed the Rain forest!!! Words can not describe the beauty of it!!! We also got lost in Old San Juan and enjoyed its architecture and piazzas with beautiful fountains. The restaurants were amazing with authentic Cuba cuisine at the Metropol across the street from the Ritz Carlton. We then also went gambling at one of the many hotel casinos in East la Verde!!! WOW what fun!!!! We also saw a cock fight across from the Metropol restaurant. Poor Little Jerry Seinfeld!!!!! The Embassy Suites where all of us stayed was right on the beach with four pools, pool bar and hot tub. We pooled it up and hot tubbed it up every day!!!!!! The restaurant that the club took us to on Saturday was so good that we went back again the next day.

TO ALL IN PUERTO RICO WE LOVE YOU AND WILL MISS YOU!!!!!

TEAM HIGUCHI!!!!!!!

I would like to give my most sincerest gratitude to Wilson Chaparro, Jay Barcelo, Raymond Zapata and all the Wild Ravens that made this show possible in my island of Puerto Rico. I also would like to thank all the pilots involved in this show you are all wonderful pilots and very humble it was a honor to see you fly. Last and not least I would like to thank my new friends Mike McComville and Bill Ritchey ( 2 wonderful persons) for letting me spend so much time with you. All of you will definitely be missed here in your new second home of Puerto Rico hope to see you all next year.
