Below
are some of the crews, in the cockpit, and out. As with any hobby that
involves engines or mechanical parts, the people like to compare notes
and help each other out with hints and tips. These guys were no
exception. It was interesting to sit and listen to them compare mounts,
engine horsepower, battery types, etc. It was a neat glimpse into what
it takes to own and maintain one of these planes. The kinship that
develops from people of like interest is interesting. This was a great
group of people that freely shared information, and helped each other
out when problems come about.

Here are all the pilots with John Hill (on the far left). John Hill coordinated the event for the Palm Springs Air Museum.
