Gathering of the Giants 2009

This year's Gathering of the Giants was held 3/21-22 at the same time as the Charlotte airshow. I was so burned and tired from Saturday that I visited only briefly, and took these shots. Especially on that jet shot, I challange anyone to tell it wasn't from the Charlotte airshow and real!

He brought this down into a hover into a strong crosswind. In this shot it still has some forward motion, but the foreground people gives a good idea of scale.

Here the plane is in a steady hover into a strong headwind. He held it steady for minutes, then accelerated away.

The guys face says it all
