Need to fly more and take less shots. This one's a record!
Jeff

I know what you mean Jeff.....I have gotten to the point where I don't want to bring my camera rig to an event. I either go to shoot or I go to fly. I don't really like trying to do both. If I shoot, I miss the great lift and If I fly, I miss the great shots! Another thing is...I love digital, but in the old days....I shots 15 or 20 rolls of film at an event and I was done....it all went to the photo lab....now I have to go home and sit in front of the computer for hours on end, editing, color correcting, cropping and on and on......I am very good at Photoshop, but really dislike going through a 1000 photos. When I worked for Boeing I'd shoot a couple thousand photos, then come back to the office and give my camera cards to the editors and they did all that...I was spoiled LOL

Great photos BTW!!!

Pete

Awesome Jeff! Absolutely beautiful photography, really captures the event. Nice tribute to the Topaz as the lead photo, such a gorgous sailplane. I already found a few that will work great for a new forum background! Thank you.
Cheers, Thompson

Need to fly more and take less shots. This one's a record! But a good way to wind down the season. Lots of great planes and people. So many subjects, so little time

All kidding aside, I had fun. I hope it tells the story. Thanks again to the gang in VT for the event and everyone for providing great subject matter.

Enjoy.

Thanks so much to the Green Mountain crew for a another great event. I really appreciated the warmer weather vs last year also (no icicles)... It was a great time with great weather, people,food, friends etc. Good to see the Canadian contingent also. As always thank you to the tow pilots - Len, Bob and others for the time and effort you guys put in. Without you we would just have a great static show.

Pictures are being worked on. Here are a few early ones...

Enjoy,
Jeff

[hello82]

yes, great to see the photos and video...yeah the Jet sailplane sure has a certain cool vibe to them.. .sorry you could make the festivities Petr! Maybe see you in NY in October? Matt

Thank you Etienne! This video is wonderful and just a nice little surprise. Really does set the tone and feel for our event. Yes, Len did do a few rolls with the Bidule on tow. Etienne gave an after dinner show with his Jet engined yellow Salto, what a hoot that was to watch! My iPhone 5 camera is frizzed out dirty, so no filming, hopefully someone else filmed this?
Cheers, Thompson

Sounds like great event......what else to expect from the VT crew.
My plans to attend on Thu or Fri fell trough as I was seated on jury the week before. Still sitting there...almost two weeks now. The judge didn't think that going to VT to fly gliders was good enough excuse to let me go
I'll join you guys next year.
