Introduction
Hello all:

I would like to thank Jim for giving me the opportunity to cover the 2009 NEAT Fair for RCGroups.

For those that do not know me, I am an electric powered RC Aero-modeler as well as a freelance photographer with deep passion for both. Needless to say I am looking forward to sharing my experience with the RCGroups Community.

I will be attending the NEAT Fair Friday through Sunday and returning home for uploads every night. I have also volunteered to help Tom Hunt and his crew so I will be experiencing a unique prospective of the event.

I hope you will enjoy my coverage of this event starting Friday night.

Till the next time.
Paul Osinski

Have to say when a camera is in this mans hands he becomes one with the camera. He can stand next to you and shoot some great in flight pics of flybys or whatever with no real pressure on the pilot. He is very fluid like, you cant here his camera and dont have to ask if he got the shot, cause he did.
Good luck Paul see you Sat.

Friday
Hello all:

My wife and I arrived at the Neat Fair at 9a.m. Friday morning. Temperatures were in the
upper 50’s and mostly cloudy. Despite the chilly damp weather, there were planes flying
on the flight field. As in past years, I am photographing this years fair in my own photographic style. I hope you enjoy.

All around and weighs in at 3.5 lbs.
