This young man all the way from Ohio has come a long way to fly in conditions he wish exsisted this time of year in his hometown of Columbus. Needless to say the only time he wasn’t flying this weekend was when it was too dark to fly.

Travel Dilemmas with Delta Airlines

Derrick Threatt — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 17:31:57 +0000

I am sorry to say…that due to the CRAPPY service of Delta Airlines…..I wasn’t unable to return to California on Sunday to upload the videos.

Please know that while waiting and trying to sleep in the aiport for 18 hours to catch the next plane because we were late 1 minute….I did get to edit most of the video. I did upload two from the Airport….once I got home I think I was sick from exhaustion…slept til this morning. This trip has almost discouraged me and my Road Dog Tim Jones from even EVER flying to another fun fly. Many people think the heli industry has deep pockets to pay team pilots to goto these events…but the truth is most of them pay for the expenses out of their own pockets. Each trip usually cost about $1,000.00….and I do about 10 a year. My situation is a little different from team pilots as I get paid for advertising…so these trips are my largest espense. I recently met another photographer/videographer that will start doing east coast events coverage for us.

Look for all the videos to be uploaded in the next day or two.

A five star event put on in collaboration between Bert K, of BertRC.com, The Orlando Radio Control Helicopter Society (TORCHS) and RCACF. Day 3 was slower than Day 1 and 2 but many of the stars were still in the building. Great photo gallery and a few quality videos too.
