Nice flying guys. Who was flying the good looking short wing on 31's with a borer?

Fun day. Nice pics and video, Craig! Here are a few of my stills in mini-TR format. Got a bunch of great video, but it will be a while before that surfaces.

Good, dry firewood.


Nobody really needs taildraggers.


Kelly telling us about a dream he had where he was flying a taildragger.


Chazdevil


Rob shows Chazdevil his O-face.


He didn't seem affected by having too little wing.




F/2.0


Thanks again Rob for the firewood.


This guy had a bad day.


This guy had a good day.


The Man


Only the Man gets a control wheel.

Awesome day!!
No shortage of good pilots and big tires.

Good shots Zzz. You can call me the sea lion. hahaha Next time we do this and I hope we do it again, you local guys should come out. You will see stuff and hear stories that you just don't on the net.

I forgot to give Greg his seat back.....it was still pretty far up my sphincter when I left.
I'm still grinning Greg, thanks!

Nice work from the NW crew!

Need to see more of these! I was starting to think the Sierra Flyers were having all the fun!

More photos!!!

Hey, at least you're not washed up on the beach.

Epic! Nicely done, guys.

The video does not have sound and is the only stuff I shot on 2/17, I do not like the camera angle but it is better then nothing.

Most of it is pretty mild stuff @ 4:27 you can see water skipping on to the beach, how soft the beach was even with 35" tires.

Looks like it turned out to be a good fly-out Greg! Even with mother nature messing with guys a little with the weather. Nice pictures Zzz! And enjoyed watching the videos!

Awesome pictures and videos. Well done.

I appreciate the compliment, Greg.

My secret is to close my eyes and sob like a little girl on short final.

Great pictures, Zane. Looking forward to the video.

Kelly scans on rare occasions but doesn't post. He claims he's not a computer guy. I think he also claims, "I'ma no speaka englishes" when called for jury duty.

Another lurker who said he was going to sign up finally, right Darl!

I shot about 15GB worth of video yesterday. The best stuff is with my other camera, but I was also trying out my new GoPro, so I only carried it with me on my ride with Greg. I slapped 3 short clips together, all shot in GoPro's "protune" mode, which doesn't apply any color correction or sharpening to the media files, it just leaves them flat. The idea being that the video editor does all the color correction manually. It's great but you need an absolutely smokin' machine to be able to preview it while doing that. I think I saw some magic smoke escape from mine. The good stuff will probably come out with the new website.
