Title: My Trip to the 2014 Nats
Post by: Juan Valentin on July 20, 2014, 06:51:39 PM: This was my first trip to the Nats and I thoroughly enjoyed it.My friend Germanico Becerril invited me to go as his mechanic and I jumped at the opportunity. I was able to see some of my heros like Bob Hunt , Bill Warwage and the best fliers in the world. Everybody was very friendly and allowed me to take photos of their planes and even posed with them. I was not able to take photos of all the planes but the few I took I will be posting here after resizing. In my opinion The AMA and all involved did a great job of running the Nats. Here are some photos of the Champ and his plane.

Wow! What a great job you did with this presentation and you took really great photos of sensational models, all of them!

Thanks for that.

Lots of three blade props I noticed.

Of the models you have Posted, for appearance, two of them really stand out, at least for me.

Here they are.

Thanks again!

Hi Juan, wish I had gone...I would of had the chance to meet you "face to face," instead of on the net and by mangos and hot peppers in the mail. ;D
The Juggernaut in your picture belongs to Joe Bowman. I do the majority of my flying and learning the "ins and outs" of this addicting hobby, with him.
