As usual super shots Al.....even one of me flying! Unusual for Margaree >:(

A few of my own if you don't mind....

First one speaks to the general cameraderie prevelant at the site...second is the "Stryker Scourge" preparing for the "TARGET" flight..and the last one is an indicator of how a lot of fliers felt Sunday morning....

Having a good look at all the great photos Al sure looks like everyone had a good time as usual ! Was there any warning when that big single was coming in ? What was it a Caravan ? I was in stitches and awe of the video of the Stryker attack , couldn't get over how rock steady it was in the wind ! You must have an fpv link to follow it so well, if not -amazing job. Was that Andreas' target ? Sorry for all the questions,missed being there....but glad to see this recap :-)

The big turboprop was a Pilatus that arrived early saturday morning with a load of golfers for the cabot links course. Plenty of warning as they overflew us and then set up for a long approach. From Montreal I was told, they were picked up by the links van and driven off to play golf. Reversal of the process about mid afternoon when the Pilatus returned to pick them up. Between visits I was told they flew to Port Hawkesbury to park the plane as there was no room wth all the models and campers on site, and of course they couldn't block the runway all day.

Shot the strykers from my 350 QX3AP quad. The camera downlinks what it sees via wifi to my nexus tablet clamped onto the transmitter. No FPV. Just fly the quad into position and move it around once in a while. The gimbal is rock solid!
Control of video recording and still shooting is via an app on the tablet.

The target was a big foamy disc built by the new glasgow guys.

Golly Al, I noticed the Finger and thought it was a greeting to myself (kind of classy I thought). Hadn't noticed the beer at all, and I would guess the bottle is simply a stage prop..... [smiley=engel017.gif]
