Heather, I love the silhouette of you against the sky. That is a perfect start to some great night flying!

That thing that I rode..which I guess is a Segway (what you said) was SOO fun! I was staring at it like all day and FINALLY he saw that I was AMAZED by it and he let me AND Fred ride it! You should be jealous that thing was too cool!
I love the silhouette too..that was Fred's idea...but I guess it wouldn't look as cool without ME in the shot, huh?!

Okay guys..so XFC has COME and GONE..wow. I can't believe it is over! I had sooo much fun being there hangin' out with all those great pilots and people. This was my frist XFC and I had a BLAST!! It was great seeing some familiar faces and even better meeting new ones, too. I TRIED to run the big rig camera..and I DO apologize for those of you who will complain..but I try my best and I SWEAR I will work on it. For those pilots that I was filming, I am sorry if I lost you here and there..filming airplanes and helicopters are ALOT HARDER than it looks! I just want to thank everyone who supports Flightpass/HPP and everyone who loves and appreciates what we do. Fred works endlessly to give you guys the best quality..and me, well, I work hard too! Please yall..take the time to keep an OPEN MIND and check out all of our hard work. We do it for YALL..and we'd be nothing without ya!

Heather aka FLG

Thanks for the photo Mike! Pretty colors.

I've added 12 more films to FlightPass since yesterday. There are now 22 films from the Saturday morning known round including the flight of 6 year old Justin Chi. Just amazing that this kid is competing at this level. It would seem it's just a matter of time before he's Champion.

Good stuff

Awesome coverage guys.

What a value your service brings to us R/C enthusiasts. Without this service bringing the event into my home in nearly real-time I'd be relegated to waiting for one of the magazines to cover the event with a page or two.

Keep up the great work. I think my renewal is coming up soon.

Mike
