Two views of the USA Team's pit area

That shade was welcome!

And the US Team again, deep in discussion apparently

 

 

 

 

Some of the Japanese Team members

Scott Gray from the Canadian Team, one of the Juniors in the competition

Dutch Team members, there's that distinct flybar again

 

 

 

 

Possible the best view of Dave Wilshere, UK Team... :-)

Mark Christy, UK Team, in hovering mode

And the third UK man, Mark Tilbury, moving out to fly

 

 

 

 

Flyoff Pilots pose for posterity

At a guess, $50K of Hirobo machines

Pilot and Boss - Mike and Mary Farnan from Australia

 

 

 

 

Full size Huey caused plenty of interest

It is there, honest. Just landing, middle of the picture

Ahem. Mark Tilbury catching some Z's

... and finally

 

 

Tony Wright piloting Mark Christy's Number Two model a couple of days after his return from Turkey

...and most enjoyable it was too! (Mark's the young one on the left)
