Dragon Flys are Buzzing...

It's showtime !!!

One day before the start of the Flytec Championship meet at Quest Air, Groveland Florida... The day started slowly with competitors and volunteers rolling in at a steady pace... By mid day, the glider parking lot was starting to fill and a line started to form to get in some pre-comp practice...

Yours truly got signed up and headed out to the flight line to help with the launches... Pleased with how many names I was able to pull out of the fog... Really great to see all the Quest regulars and to swap tales of the last year... This will be a slightly smaller comp than last year but still should be near 100 people to launch each day... The weather prognosticators are calling for a better week than what they had for the Nationals, last week at Florida Ridge... Time will tell...

Mrs. Higbee is settling in and seems to be having a good time being with Dad... She is sitting next to me on her stand helping me do the blog... There is a party tonight at Wallaby Ranch but I think I will just stay in camp and enjoy the local group... Hotter than I have been used to and a Hat, Sunblock, and a Hydration pack are a must... Tomorrow, the cartoons will begin...

Take care and have fun...

Keep-em-Flying...

Bruce & Mrs. Higbee...
