Freeze Fly 2012
January 1, 2011


Kenny out there freezing fingers, toes and face trying to get in that first flight of 2012.


At least there's no snow...
But in this picture you can't see the windsock going crazy...


Heli Guys aren't stopped by 40 MPH winds...
At least he should put on a jacket -- I'm still freezing...


Taylor making the Rave dance...


Safety under the shelter. Coffee and Chili galore...


Trying to figure out who's gonna brave the winds next...


Too much chitchat and not enough flying guys!!!
(No Heli guys here...)


Dave flying a quadcopter. I was suprised how it handled (mostly) the high winds. (Not REALLY a Heli, but closer)


Another shot of Dave and the quadcopter.


It's out there - honest...


Takeoff; "OK" -- Flight; "Really Bumpy".
Landing; "Uhmmm, any ideas guys"


"I think I can, I think I can..."


Here's the flag while it was still up. Was taken down as we were afraid the pole would break. (sarcasm)


Now I KNOW this isn't a Heli guy, but he's out there anyways...


This is a picture of Joe flying something. Not sure what, but I wouldn't have taken it if he wasn't doing something.


Steve and the simulator. Showing off the prototype field in RealFlight. Will be cool to do SimTime on the real field soon...


Heli Guy (Taylor) and Wannabe Heli Guy (Me) out freezing on the flightline. I need gloves or a jacket next time...


Rave ENV envy. My little Raptor didn't have the power to fly very long - but I did fly and land it in the nutso wind!!!


Three Raves, Two heli pilots and One Wannabe...
(catchy - maybe I should set that to music...)


Chili - and the place to best thaw frozen fingers after flying.
Just don't get TOO close to the stove...
