Thank you! HOW, Matt, Mike, Mike, OEX, Andy, Brent, Makobob and all the wonderful sponsors, for helping put these events together. Our vets are very lucky that there are people and organizations, businesses, individuals, that step up big time to help our veterans, HEAL and have some fun. I'm glad that this event was such a success, and it's fitting for you guys that spent so much time and effort organizing this event.

Thank you guys for setting me up with that new gaff. I don't know who's idea it was...but I have a good feeling I know who it is...;) it's awesome and I will definitely put it to good use, getting more fish for the HOW events. Oh and the busy bee gift certificates....Oh boy!!!

I set it for taking stills every 5 sec. The Phantom is supposedly much steadier for filming video, but this is pretty cool for low buck aerial shots and pretty easy to fly.
