We had a great time! I would like to thank the First In Flight staff and volunteers for such a wonderful event! I not only got toplay withmy toys, I also spent a great deal of time with the GRANDBABY!!!!!!! My Son-In Law went to the flight line with me and was amazed at the quality and cost of the aircraft.
Looking forward to next year! Praises to the City Of Wilson for being such a gracious host!

I want to thank Larry, Robert, Mike, Gene and the city of Wilson for a great event and venue. I also want to thank all those that supported DW Mobile during the event. Maureen and I had a lot of fun!! It was great seeing old friends and we met many new ones. I even managed to get in some flights on my F-22 in between sales. 
Thanks again me we look forward to FIF 2014.

Thanks to Larry & Robert for allowing me the opportunity to maiden my new jet Saturday morning. Perfect conditions @ 7:45 led to a perfect maiden flight; two clicks of up elevator & one click of right aileron got her in the groove.
Also, to James of FEJ for the following video of my 2nd flight...crosswind got me as soon as I touched down (got the new off of it in a hurry)!

Here are a couple of the pictures I took...Got one of the A-7 and F-18 sitting together Lewis. Nice flying by the way. Had good scare on the F-18...Got to love the Hat
You're right...The hat blowing back, then the sun blinding me, almost cost me an airplane.Time for a new hat (LOL)!

Another great week at First in Flight! Good flying that gave us the opportunity to practice crosswind landings 
, learned much and saw some new products, but the best part was being with friends again. Thanks to Robert, Larry, Mike, Gene, Doo Rag, and the many more folks that put this event on for us. And a heartfelt thank you to Verona (city manager), the mayor and city council for taking a chance on us and trusting us with their airport and facilities for another event.
Looking forward to another family reunion in 2014!

Just quickly I wanted to jump in and give a huge thanks to all who attended, and also thank all the people who help put this show on. Even with threatening skies we went over the 100 pilot count. Lots of fuel burned, and lots of smiles. We're already working on making it even better for 2014 and we'll talk about those things later on this thread.
Also want everyone to know we'll have a photo flood going up soon after our photographer sorts through a ton of shots he took.
Back to work now,,,,,,,,,,, Was out of the office two weeks and Im still trying to find my desk top!!!!!

Looking forward to seeing all the pics. What a great place to fly! I was able to put 14 flight on my Ultra Flash. Not going to be the same going back to my regular field now with about 10% of the space

Nice slide show Gene. Thanks for sharing the link with us.
I talked with our event photograher John Romero last night and he has around 1200 shots taken at FIF. I'll be picking up the disc this week and we'll sort through them as soon as possible so we can post. John takes some awesome pics on a regular basis, so we can look forward to some cool pics.
The beautiful Karen Escalona was on the flight line all week as well. And we ALL know what amazing shots she captures at these event! Look for those pics to appear in a "RC Jet International" publication soon!

And LtCmd Kyle Matthew told me yesterday that he shot loads of pics and will post a bunch here. He's also doing an article for Model Airplane News magazine so look for that in the coming months!

Robert, Larry,
This looks like a great event! Do you allow West Coast jet guys to attend? I'd like to come next year.
