He actually let me fly the plane. Its a big difference from RC where you are sitting in the airplane and can feel the airplane in your hands, not sure which is harder to fly... real or RC, the pilot we flew with said what we do is harder because of depth perception and you are standing on the ground versus in the air flying the plane.

Your daughters are cuties.
Why did you not allow the camera to be pointed at you as well?

if you look at the people standing by the railroad ties in both pictures, it looks like the pictures were taken at the same time, it even looks like the guy in the orange hat is waving from the air picture too.

yeah it was random, I did not know we had another camera on the ground. The pass was very low too... I remember coming across the tree line and seeing all these RC planes scatter... :-D We were slow and low, so they did not even hear us coming, the tree line is less than 1/4 of a mile from where they are standing and we were probably going 90 mph.. They told me somebody yelled full scale and everyone took cover.. :-D
