Unfortunately, our June 2011 contest didn't happen due to poor weather. Six pilots were able to get to Olean and patiently waited out the clouds, wind, and rain to no avail. However, we had a great time eating and socializing and are ready to try again next year. Check out our photos at:
Michael Kintner of AmazingAerialPhotos.com took some footage of airplanes and pilots. Have at look!
