Team Paris at Brodak

[frank carlisle]

Going to Brodak is a guaranteed great flying experience. It's even better when you go with guys you fly with all the time.
This year me, John and Mike Paris, Jim Moreway and Joe Peters all went. Jim and Joe stayed a couple days and me and Team Paris ruffed it for the week in tents.
I managed to get a few pix of John and Mike while we were there.
Mike's engine punked out in the top and the plane got broken. Neither John or Mike got upset. They just picked up all the pieces and fixed it in John Brodak's shop. They got it flying again and Mike placed in the contest.
Here are pix.

Hopefully will get to meet them again.  Also maybe meet Frank also.  Glad everyone had a good time.  Got to be a hi-lite with Windy filming him.

Mike will be in Windy's '010 video quite a bit. Tom Hampshire was very generous with his golf cart and I sat in the passenger seat and Mike did the driving. He loved that part of the trip. We happened by Windy's enclave and the crowd there put a temporary tattoo on Mike (a dragon) and we all proclaimed him to be a man. Windy shot video of that too. I told John I'd be happy to take Mike into town and get him a real tattoo. John just gave me that look that says "bad idea".
