Beach Blast 2010 – Thursday
Pilots enjoying the good weather in Florida. Photo: Alex Souza.
Today was a busy day. I had a shift working in the flying zone from 9:30 to 12:30. Lots of pilots enjoyed (and are still enjoying) the great weather we have here. Like yesterday, another pilot “took a bath” in the sea, while in the competition tasks. Another one, in the same competition got a close call when he crashed and his engine kept running. With the accidents, the police was called and the competition was cancelled. Fortunately nobody is hurt.
There a lots of vendor booths here but I didn’t see anything new yet (no new trikes or new glides, besides the MacJet, first reflex wing from Macpara).
Today I met some great guys I knew from email or from other events: Wil Jones, from Talking PPG Radio, Chris Saintcroice and Jeff Goin. I also talked to Paul Lindquist but no sign yet from Michael Peters, from Ireland, who I need to meet in person too.
Meanwhile, enjoy another picture from the show!
