Arrived this afternoon, unloaded the Dominator and made a short test flight and all was well.
A little later me and Steve flew south within a few miles of the Gulf and returned just before dark.
Weather is great and we are in a RV park only 1/2 mile from the GatorFestival. Looks like a pretty big event starting Friday night.

Thanks Mike, we really appreciate the support Chapter 20 has given us. It was a great success for us and we're already discussing plans for next year. We will have some pictures posted in the next couple days after all the excitement slows down.

I had a great time and I know my friend Shane did too...he really enjoyed his flight in the MTO Sport. Desmon stayed very busy and Crissy was just an incredibly warm spirit! Mike, you and your guys did a great job, looking forward to next year already!

We had a very successful Fly-in! We appreciate all the folks that travelled to our fly-in, we had a great time and enjoyed your company! Desmon gave rides non stop Friday and Saturday and his wife Crissy had a massage table and equipment set up, what a nice addition to a fly-in, highly recommended. We had at least 13 gyros present and aprox 10 powered parachutes. Here are a few pic's. Hopefully others have better pic's to share also.

Rudy,
Great picture of you in post 43, I'm trying to figure out how you took a picture of yourself flying.
