Cool teaser Dan. And th opening of Nate and Robbie flying in the rain is killer.
Those 2 and Jeramy have some serious dedication to fly when they travel nothing stops them.
FLY,FLY,FLY. They were the only pilots to fly more than HC.
Even after tearing down Nates Align 600 to build the Knight 3D it was non stop flying sunday morning as well.

Charley! Thanks for the great time you ole country boy...Pig was great even if I did have to shove it in and run!

Glad I did get on the road Monday night...got into Orwell about 7am just as the roads started to ice up...did a couple of things and finally laid down around 10am...slept until 5 that afternoon...looked out the window and it had snowed about 8" or so already! Ended up with about 12" or so...

Again thanks for the great time this weekend! Even if my Kipor generator acted stupid...it is going in for warranty work this weekend when I go to Cleveland!

Dan...yes I know...I should have bought a Honda!

i flew in the rain too, sniff sniff. guess my flying sucks and no one wants to see it anyways. :-)

"Out of curiosity, what was that whining noise coming from your heli when HC was spanking it?"
i found nothing wrong and flew about 5 more tanks after that. even let Jeremy fly one out with no noise.
i think it may have been wet clutch from being inverted in the rain for so long.

hey im in the last pic at the far end of the runway flying my 450 :-)

LOL! can't believe you got a shot of all of us around that damn generator! But the good news...Kipor North America is sending me a NIB generator for my troubles...I explained to them about how badly I was getting crap from the Honda owners...and that the generator is only 7 months old...

Oh...I suppose this had some part of it!!! I emailed the Senior Vice-Pres over some derogatory internal office email that got fwded to me by accident!!! :D

Amazing how fast I got a reply from the VP saying I had a new generator on its way to me! Plus some unknown "token of his appreciation" for bringing the issue up to him...

[Skiddz]

So what did the "derogatory internal office email" say? :)

MAN look at the water running down the parking lot. I have been to Black Sheep many many many times and never seen water like that in the parking lot. That was some rain!!

Nice pics!! Thanks for sharing!!!

[Greg Alderman]

just a crude comment questioning my integrity...nothing really bad...but something that a customer should not have received...I am sure this type of interoffice mail gets passed around all the time...but when it gets out to a customer by accident...then you have a problem...

I can't believe I worked on that thing twice with a mechanic over my shoulder just watching :) At least I know I was doing something right otherwise Jon would have chimed in.

Never question the integrity of a Marine or a Navy man. Other service members are also included, but I thought it important to note that for Greg's benefit (mine too).

I miss hanging out with all you people at fun flies, it's too bad this event was quick and wet.
