Morning guys... The event was fantastic. ARC, we had the trailer with the simulator set up.. Vern & Eric brought a bunch of planes for static display.. Good times for sure. There are pics & videos on my FB page linked in the above post. Now we had a perpendicular flight line seperate of the full scale.. We did not fly at the same time as the actual show.. obviously.. But people were on approach and landing & we had a stretch of line which ended left at a static display of an Apache Longbow just short of the shows runway... On the right.. There was a guy doin monster truck rides and 2 pads that here giving R22 heli rides... Cones on each side not to be crossed. So... During my second flight.. My spotter said helicopter taking off as I was on approach toward the pads but in my airspace.. But he said helicopter taking off.. I knew to stay clear, so I bank away from my flight line and away from the cones (even tho I was not close yet at all)... As I'm banking around the helicopter came into my view... IN MY AIRSPACE!! Now I'm sure we were not "as" close as I perceived us to be... But it scared the ever living shit outta me. Couldn't get back in my zone after that.. Lol.. I was nervous enough before that. Lol.. Was scary & funny.. Anyhow.. Great day.
