Awwww Man, Can I say just how Awesome it was see and spend time with everyone this weekend?!!! Another Wildwood festival has come and gone and I was missing ALL of you the moment I left! throb.gif Lots of great times this weekend. More Revs per square foot that I think I've ever seen on that beach! We really need our own designated field at this point.

It was such a treat to meet Island Quad and our Canadian contingent as well! You guys are a class act and I hope you come back again!!! Many thanks to those of you who traveled far and wide to be there including IKE David, and Mel/Scott/Laurel! So many new friends made and laughs shared! Klaatu has been fully converted now I think! LOL! Even Antman's son Ethan had gotten a Rev up! Look out for this next generation... they're going to be killer fliers.

Huge THANKS to everyone who had helped me out and gave me insight over the past few days! I have tons of homework to do on my own field now. Here's hoping that my car holds out for awhile so that I can try to get to more fun flies this summer.

Alden,

Great shots! You were in the right spots for the stacks. I have never seen so many Rev stacks before. A great sight.

Thanks to Island Quad for joining the party and being such nice guys. I enjoyed meeting and flying with you.

Hey guys! We had the most amazing time flying with everyone! I'm so glad that we were able to come! Even with all the rev flyers in Quebec, we'll never be as much! I really enjoyed my weekend and we'll try for sure to head down to LSP this summer!

Hi to everybody!

I really enjoyed to meet you all. The language barrier didn`t stop me to learn from you.

It was pleasure to fly with you "pro" flyers. Will miss the spirit the feeling to fly with you until next year "hope so".

I`m coming back here with more knowledge in team flying and expect to transmit your passion to other Rev flyers

in Quebec.

Cheers,

Jeepi (Jean-Pierre)

Awesome 4 plus days of flying!!!!!!!!!!!

Too many good times to recount but a couple of shout outs are due..........

TEAM ISLAND QUAD....what is to say other than it was a pleasure having you PERIOD!

Dom, Jess, JP & Veronique.......The four of you have a great thing going. It was great being surrounded by so many canadiens on the line. The Jersey crew seemed gleefully outnumbered!

The WOW contingent as always provided great laughs and good times and the Jersey crew and all else just kept on rocking. So much team & group flying, WOW!

My fellow Rev Riders.....all of them......You ROCK!

Scotty, what can I say? YOU ARE THE MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Carolyn,

You got some great shots there! I am impressed how the night photos turned out with all the bright colors and patterns. I agree with your selection of the best - I especially love your megafly shot with Ben in the forground.

BTW, Mark (klaatu) has some nice shots in the gallery also. Thanks for sharing.

I hope to share some that Barb & I took this weekend. I doubt I will have time to edit videos this time, but we did get some stills to add to the collection.

Hey all............

Could you all please look in your bags and see if my "NBC Color Bars" mid-vent is in there?

Dom used it on Monday. I asked him to throw it on top of my bag and while I thought I put it in there at the end of the day, it may have mistakenly gone back in yours as there were so many bags there together.

I'm not too worried about it as I know it wasn't left on the beach...........Go ahead Alden, make your joke here!

Seriously though, please check your bags to see if you have it.

Thanks!!!!!!!!!

I want to extend thanks to the insufficiently recognized flyers responsible for the great team flying we enjoyed, the team fly leaders. I realize that it must be stressful trying to herd cats while making formations interesting to perform and at the same time entertaining to the audience. Scott W. of Rev Riders and Terry W. of Island Quad shared the bulk of this duty, providing the service needed to make this a winning event. It was especially great to get the new ideas and techniques of our Canadian friends to make us all better. I also want to recognize the team leading provided by Smitty, Scott K., and Paul D. for also helping me work on my skills. Between MIKE (with John B ) and WIKF, I feel my team flying comfort level and ability have been boosted considerably through the help of these more experienced and skillful leaders.

Thank you team and mega-fly leaders for the service you provide to the Rev family making team flying possible and putting up with novices in order to help us along the learning curve. We need and appreciate you! clap_1.gif
