So I was out flying a few weeks ago, and a guy asks if a few buddies and I would like to do a demo at a full scale fly in to honor our veterans and raise some funds at the local airport. There was a catch, though. They only wanted 4 or 5 pilots and NO LITTLE PLANES! I thought about it for about 500th of a second and said hell yeah! Then I thought, "who do I know know with any big planes?" Thought about it for all of about 1000th of a second and came up with Joe MItchell and my fellow Huck Monkey's!!!! Once we finally got the details worked out, it went off without a hitch. Had a great time, everyone LOVED the demo flights and planes and had some good food, all for a good cause.

John with his scale Blanick Red Bull TURBINE powered glider! I got to admit, this thiing is a hand full to take off and can be a little sketchy, but John absolutely KILLED it. Nice job!

We got together as a group and decided to let Joe fly his little itty bitty cap.

I think you forgot something in preflight, Joe.

Uhhhm, I guess it locks the pictures in landscape? Guess you guys will have to figure if it is easier to turn your head or your monitor to see 'em. Joe, monkey? Help?

Ever wonder what a 50%'er looks like on a REALLY close fly by? No zoom here!
