It will be my second year to attend.. I had a great time with everyody.. I hope to maiden another plane at the event this year..The BBQ is incredible the level of flying was eye opening mouth droping.. Will the guy with the big 50% Edge be out there again?? That guy flew the plane like it was somebody elses bird.. Wide open throttle knife edge five feet off the deck all the way down the runway then BAM yank on the elevator and 90 degree turn.. fun to watch.. The announcers are nuts they kind of pass the mic around to everybody interview everybody like they are rock stars.. Such a cool bunch in Fresno..

I forgot I had posted here... My crew and I made it out to Fresno for another killer event the atmosphere they provide is second to none. The Bar-B-Que was incredible.. The young guns were really pushing the limits one in particular was flyng a 100cc desert scheme extra was bending the wings on his plane literally.. I am pretty sure he deceided to retire the airframe after the weekend. He and another young gun went head to head for what seemed like forever just pushing each other side by side with the crowd and announcer pushing them both to there limits.. That was just one of hundreds of amazing flights I saw.. Oh man what about the two brand new Great Planes Extra's?? Oh I think they may have a winer on there hands.. A man by the name of Mith and his friend Mark Trent went side by side for a demo... OH I need one of those.. The Big TT Toc 260 with a 3W 170 was ripping. A couple real nice custom scheme 3W a big yak and a Votec.. not to mention the pitts pytons from QQ one with a DA 100 the other a DA85. I stoped counting the number of QQ 102's that where on hand.. I wont miss this one next year..
