JDHelicopterPilot Posted June 9, 2012 Posted June 9, 2012 (edited) http://www.hiller.or...challenge.shtml It's back and I know late notice on here, On June 16th at San Carlos Airport in San Carlos, CA is the Vertical Challenge Helicopter Air Show. Those that have been there know already how much fun it is. Those who haven't, it's a airshow dedicated to helicopters complete with air demonstrations. Visit the link for more information. Hope to see you there! Edited June 9, 2012 by JDHelicopterPilot Quote
jim_222 Posted June 9, 2012 Posted June 9, 2012 Thanks for sharing this info! I didn't know about it, but I am definitely consider going! Is anybody else from SoCal interested in going? Maybe we can carpool (screw that, let's helipool! I wish...) Quote
JDHelicopterPilot Posted June 9, 2012 Author Posted June 9, 2012 A number of guys have gone in the past from SoCal. Hope to see you there. 1 Quote

Goldy Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 The "new" Airport manager cancelled the show about ONE WEEK before the event! Sucks for some of us that buy tickets to San Jose to attend. Quote
JDHelicopterPilot Posted June 12, 2012 Author Posted June 12, 2012 Why would he do that? It's such a popular show. Quote
adam32 Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 Why would he do that? It's such a popular show. Probably because most airport managers are morons... Quote
Tim99 Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 Sorry I so late getting to this. If anybody was planing on flying in, you should read the pilot information here. http://www.hiller.org/pilot-info.shtml Due to the area we have to work with these days we need to know who's coming and plan for it.
