The IRCHA registration area was busy all day long coordinating activities and answering questions.
Everyone gathered around show center to see the noon time demonstrations by some of the best company pilots.
I think I saw a helicopter in straight and level flight for a few seconds, but otherwise they were in some twisted position just above the ground.
Chris Bergen had his 6 motor hover craft all lit up for night flying. This is a great platform for photography because it is almost vibration free, steady and capable of carrying a good size payload.
Some of the pilots just couldn’t get in enough flying no matter how late in the day. It was getting to be so dark I could hardly see the helicopter nevertheless determine its orientation.
