| If the attendance and quality of
flying that dominated this great event are reflective of the status
of our sport, we are in good shape. It
is easy to understand why Super Jets South is a favorite with many
of the regular participants. The British contingent arrive early and
stay an extra week to enjoy the facility and seasonal weather.
From Nick Smith:
This was a cracking event, with much flying. A strong BVM contingent, with
many 'sorties' flown. 'The Brits' enjoyed every minute, taking
advantage of the fantastic weather and the even more fantastic GA
Jets facility. Our appreciation goes to all involved in the
organization of this "super" event, especially Gordon Dickens, Mike
Pasco, and Joe Rafalowski.
As always, flyers received the unrivalled customer support from the BVM
Jets team, with parts and tech support on hand. BVM jets in various
guises were airborne all weekend, Sport, Scale, EDF, and PNP, testament to the BVM reliability.
This was a first class event, at a first class
facility, with many friends. Super! |

Derrick Martin from Carencro, La.
showed a new and beautiful Ultra Bandit. Derrick is a
very accomplished pilot with real craftsmanship skills.
The inside of the model is as perfect as the BVM painted-in-the-mold external finish. Derrick guides it with a JR
28X. |

Boli Muentes logged many flights
on his BVM Jets including 15 on his 1/5th scale BVM F-16
PNP. The Ultra Bandit is at least 4 years old and he
calls it the "Pride of his Fleet". |

Brad Hughes added "TERS" (Triple
Ejection Racks) and (6) 500# bombs, plus wing tanks to his BVM 1/6th scale F-16. It looks "Mission Ready" and Brad
does a great job presenting it. |

Anna and Eduardo Esteves travel
from Brazil multiple times a year to enjoy special
events like Super Jets South. This Skymaster Cougar is
meticulous and Eduardo flew it many times at the event.
Anna is his spotter and attends to many details. Real
team work! |

| Jimmy Safie from San
Salvador is a great BVM product enthusiast and a very
good pilot. He flew many impressive flights with his PNP
F-16. |

It was rare that the sky wasn't
busy with BVM F-16's and Greg Arnette was usually in the
mix with his 1/5th scale BVM F-16. This one is powered
by a KingTech 210G. |
