Hey everyone,

I am lucky that I get to do some travels with my hobby. Recently we were in Medellin Colombia for a pattern contest and had a fantastic time. I thought I would share some pictures and video of the trip.

A real treat was a demo of a Blackhawk helicopter put on by the Colombian military. They put on quite a show and were very good about letting us get up close to it.

Here are the pics,

Also I took some videos of the heli, here they are on youtube.

How did you end up placing?

Hi Chris,

I finished 5th/29. I felt that I flew better than my results, I should have won two rounds but didn't due to silly mistakes from not having enough decent weather before the event to properly prepare!
