Couldn't make it due to an on-going health issue. Hope everyone has a good time.

Tony Arcurso has a nice collection of his photos up on his & PRA Facebook pages! reduced numbers by the looks from the big 60th gathering last year!

I managed to take some photos of Wayne's Dominator at El Mirage today. Indeed, the airfoil on the horizontal stabilizer is inverted asymetrical. It is a good looking airframe.

Yes, today's turnout is smaller than the 60th anniversary for KBFFI. Still the “usual suspects” attended and it was nice to continue with old friendships and have new conversations.

Tony Arcurso photos and videos aver excellent on PRA Facebook page.

One of the best Tony's pictures.
I was sick again, the same as last year. I had stomach flu. I only set up the camp on the lake and tear down. I did make a quick fly
Saturday and thanks to Tony I do have proof I was there. I know everyone there misses me. I'm not dead yet.

Another great action photo,Teddy!
Tony: Thanks for sharing your eye for great photography w/ all the rest of us rotorcraft enthusiasts!
I think both photos ought to be cover photos in the Rotorcraft E-zine!

Dave,

Mark the dealer told me the maximum pilot weight is 270 lb. Within my mind for that 60 hp two stroke engine, that is alot of torque on those pulleys for that weight. Maybe alright at sea level on a standard day.

Tony,

Fantastic photos you created.

I forwarded the PRA Facebook link to another aviation photographer and good friend of mine, Roy Rausch. He is currently taking photos for the Pacific Airshow in Huntington Beach, CA.
