Yep, we can't let Axel get away without a little photo evidence posted!
Here are a couple of his R.O.Y. pics:
It was fun, and very gratifying, to watch the boys in metal race this year. They all did a great job, and provided some great racing action for the crowds! The first Sport Medallion start was one of the best most of us have ever seen. Awesome line abreast formation down the chute. Wish I had a still shot, but at one point the morning sun glinted off each canopy in sequence, just like the strobes in a Runway Sequenced Flashing Light...very cool! Here's a FB video of the start from the pace plane that day: https://www.facebook.com/SportClassAirRacing/videos/1103867866356739/
The Sport Medallion Final was one of the more entertaining races of the week as well, with two 4-ships and one 2-ship group chasing Brett's Rocket around the course for 8 laps of fun! FB Video clip of part of the first lap here: https://www.facebook.com/129238580527876/videos/1058753930909665/
Van's Aircraft even had a booth at the Races this year! It was a good year for the Metal Mafia...well done boys!
Cheers,
Bob
