Great flying everybody! The drive was a little rough, but it was totally worth it!

kick ass event David! Still at the field, one sane night after the chaos of the best event of the south.
Jeremy messaged me that he was almost home awhile ago, Hopefully he'll be online and let us know he made it safely.

Just got home an had a great time. Minus getting caught in the storm in my tent. And loosing my 18hr old first up tent. (pictures posted by PG378 hahaha)
Saw the best flying I've seen to date, met a ton of great people. the Help was awesome thanks again Finless for the Charger help, and the late night Guitar Hero III was a great way to spend the evenings after the night flying.
Can't wait to see everyone next year

This was my first trip to the B Ham event and we had a blast. Special thanks to the BHam crew congrats on a successful event! Lots of great flying all down the flight line. Sure was impressive to see alt of new machines in action. Even got to see the "vapor heli" in action. See you guys at the next one!
I do want to give some props to one pilot:
One of the most improved pilots at the event is Out Of Control - Shawn Brodowsky! Be sure to check out his impressive video when it is up!! Keep up the work man!!

Man what a FUN event. PG378 (Steve) thank you VERY much for all the pics, they ROCK. Also thanks to Wayne Brown for the pics.
Everybody at the event was having a blast. B-HAM is definitely definitely definitely a no-miss event. WOW!! Thank you everyone. Me and Finless got home about 1AM, the weather was so good we had to stay late on Sun.
It was great seeing everyone, all the AWESOME flying and fun by all.

Man, agreed! I don't know about much improved as I haven't seen him fly much before, but OOC is off the hook!

Great event and a FREAKIN great time! Had a blast but now I need a vacation to recover from too much fun. Sunday we hung out a little and flew. What till you guys see Botos flying Fireup's T500 flybarless..... SMOKIN is all I can say!

i had a great time too but i think next year i will miss it, i afraid of getting tazered!
out side of that it was great to see every one. there was few pilots off the hook there and some amazing crashes!
thanks David, the hot dog guys and all those who helped out.
i think there was even a new record of pilots 172 or 176 anyone know for sure?

I never saw that one go into the drink! A lot of crashes, though. Did anyone think to keep a crash-count? My best guesstimate was maybe about 2-3 dozen?

I'm looking to contact some guys I met this weekend and I'm hoping they are watching this thread. I wanted to thank Caleb, Eric, and Marquis for helping me out. I think they are from the Atlanta area and we were setup all the way on the right side of the flight line near the pond. If anyone knows them or knows how to get in touch with them, please PM me and let me know.
BTW, I had a great time. Many thanks to David H. and all the HeliFreak crew for a fantastic event.
Thanks,
Leo
Word. Just trying to help out anywhere I could. Glad you got back up in the air as your flying was hot! :noteworthy
Even though we didnt get home until 2am... we had an awesome time. It was great seeing everyone and as usual the 'freaks make it worth while.
As soon as I finish sorting through my 2000 pictures I will post 'em!!

The "ditch" added a nice touch to the event. It was like it had eyes staring at me, taunting me to crash into it's hungry mouth. :YeaBaby:

As for crash count I did try to keep track on Friday and I got up to 25 before I stopped. Saturday I didn't keep track but from talking with people they all seemed to think there was just as man if not more on saturday.
I arrived on Wed afternoon and there only 4 that I saw before friday.
And none of what I counted included "Mark Mark Mark M3's" crash's. Or the Night Flying Crash's.

What a great turn out this year. Kudos to David again for an oustanding event. This event has become one of the highlights of my year.
Great to see and/or meet all of you!
