Tri city rocky 2009

Another successful Heli weekend was held in Rocky again!!

What can I say, leading up to the weekend the weather was perfect but as usual as the guests arrived the wind picked up. That didn’t stop us from having a great weekend. The Heli’s are getting more and more popular with each passing year!

We had 20 pilots and 33 heli’s flying. Pilots traveled from Townsville, Mackay, Emerald, Dalby & the Gold Coast just to be there.

Some awesome flying was had by many but a few had unlucky crash’s too.. (but that’s flying)

A number of people achieved their bronze wings (congratulations to them all)

Thank you to Bert & Richard for all their help organisng & catering the event. A big thank you to Laurie who was out there from dust to dawn and everyone else who helped out with supplies, prizes & food.

A BIG THANKS TO RORY AREO MODELLING SUPPLIES FOR HIS SUPPORT, HE DONATED A MODEL HELI AS A RAFFLE WHICH WAS WON BY our local and up and coming Justin!
