tucson arizona

hi all what a place, i'll try to get some pics up soon phones are rubbish for uploading, rich 0430 monday wide awake

Hi Rich good to hear from you, when you say what a place I hope you mean in a good way. Have you got up early or have you been partying ?

to be honest its mega frank knoll andrew jesky chip hyde that austrian forgot his name sorry no partying yet

WOW wish you had said you were going!

Must be great seeing those guys fly and having the crack, I know Ive learned lots of the top guys ive hung out with but this is a different level again.

PICS!

M

You'd be suprised the level isn't that much better than the top guys in the UK, it's being consistent that makes the difference.

Can't upload so you'll have to wait a bit, I'll try my best, difficult to get the time to do it, currently at DA using their PC.

Just about to go for lunch as it's 12.15

Owwwww get you "currently at DA"

Git

M

You could interpret DA as being District Attorney, and Rich is actually in a spot of bother in America.....

Andy

lol thats funney,

and strangley His one call is to us

M

18mz still being programmed so won't be out for ages yet "Andrew Jesky" he is a quality pilot has time to speak, shook hands & had a chat with Chip Hyde last night, another lad called Gabriel stunning pilot in all aspects, off to Timpa now Tuesday 0906 & 87 hot & blue skies

Is that Gabriel Altuz, if so then yeah agree his vid are nothing short of awsome! (guys utube him)

Im so freakin green with envy AJ and CH legends

mz is pure gayness however

Have you met Bill Hempel yet, he's having a mare sheered his prop hub the other day and now has Cheese-Toastied a tune pipe apparently DA has given him a couple to get him through.

And if you get one pic it has to be with Ashley from Higher plane productions, seen here modeling with possibly George Robinsons Glider (one for your desktop there George)

I don't like her. She has a mega wonky knee, which makes me want to stare at the wrong bits.....

Met Bill at Hobby Barn his parents own it, he was also at DA sorting some things out one of his pipes had sheared at the join to the manifold he was deep into the repair so we left him alone very nice guy, will try to get a pick

Scores look pretty colse to, still lots of flying to be done mind.

Ta
M

According to DA's website the top "invitational class" pilots are mainly using DA 200's with a few 170's one 150, the only one undeclared on the website is Chip Hyde but no mention of electric in this class. Unlimited is almost exclusively DA 200 4 cylinders as well.

Ahh well, may have to wait another few years before my TAS assault then

M

day 2 and unknow No2

Up a notch from yesterday I reckon, and Mr Hempel reports rubbish weather hahahahaha

Dust storms in Arizona featured on the BBC news yesterday causing chaos on the roads, don't know how close to Tucson though.

Looking at the photo BH has just put on facebook it looks like it may be and alot of water. I sure Rich will chime in to tell us all how nice it is mind

M

I bet Rich felt at home yesterday at least there's some shelter in the pits

Sorry to disappoint you Guy's we saw the forecast & decided to go do a bit of sight seeing, Dave stayed at the shootout we went to see the meteor crater & a small part of the Grand Canyon.

The dust storm on Tuesday was unreal I have vids of it, the accident was less than 5 mins from our hotel it,s super fine red dust when it blows it's worse than fog.

Rich has just emailed me this photo of the desert around the area of the TAS, have to say the scenery is vast and stunning, very envious. From what I've read on Flying Giants the weather's good today and the first freestyles are scheduled for later in the day. Rich has found posting pictures online difficult to impossible
