I've got my set of pictures up on my site now. Click
here then on the "Homer Bell's 2004" link to see them. I didn't get as many pictures this year as in previous years, nor as many activity shots. Guess I was too busy trying to fly.
It was great meeting Don L. and his friend Mike. We got to fly to breakfast together and did some other formation flying around the area. Also spent a lot of time visiting in our "Brantly area".
I agree that it was once again a very nice event this year. Perhaps not quite as organized in some areas as last, but good anyhow. Real glad the pilots in the accidents walked away unharmed.
I didn't hear the final count of registered helicopters, but it should have been in the mid 50's. 2003's final count was 59, but I don't think it was passed this year.
Besides Don and me, I only met 1 or 2 other Brantly owners this year. Not such a good turnout in that area. But, several days of lots of helicopters, flying, and talking with guys I've come to know over the last 6 years of attending was well worth it.
