GIMLI MODEL FEST 2008
SPECTATOR COMMENTS!

Frank:
"Howdy
Helen and i would just like to thank you for a GREAT THREE DAYS OF FLYING.
IT WAS THE BEST WE HAVE EVER BEEN TO.
Again your crew out did your selves.
Again thank you!"

Darrell:
"Once again, your members have pulled off a fabulous model airshow!

I was impressed last year, and this year was no different. Having the professional announcer there really makes the airshow...

Everyone really lucked out with great flying and spectator weather, 2 years in a row...

The only thing missing really was WW2 bombers in a flyby with the fighters. (hint, hint, for next year)

Awesome job guys and gals! I can hardly wait for next year."

Peter:
"Greetings all
A really big thank you and a job well-done to the entire gang of volunteers who created a great weekend for all us visitor types. If one checks the definition of the word perfect they would read - see Gimli Model Fest."

Bill:
"Great job, Joan & I had a great time.
Looking forward to next year.
Thanks a bunch for all your time and effort.
It is apreciated by all.
Thanks again.
"

Al:
"Hey guys,

Just a quick note to thank you for a spectacular RC weekend. You obviously did your homework as the Airshow was well run and safe with a good variety of events and multiple disciplines and went off without a hitch at least, as far as I could see.
Every comment I overheard in the spectator gallery was positive.
Again thanks for a memorable event."

Joe:
"Great weekend! Great people! and lots of great planes both on display and in the air...looking forward to next year already."

Gina:
"I had the chance to enjoy the better part of the day on Saturday during your practice time. I must say that I was impressed by what was going on around me. Not only was I taking in the model flights but also tow planes, gliders and parachuters......what an awsome site. This event could not be held a better place. Hats off to you all!"

Randy:
"It's nice to see the warm comments from spectators who enjoyed the show. As a pilot, the event behind the scenes was top notch - very well organized and easy to participate in and enjoy. The organizers really deserve credit for providing such a wonderful and safe venue for us to fly in. Couldn't ask for more - well maybe some WWII heavy bombers in formation...;)"

Garnet:
"I too always always have a great time. I could not belive the change in the field in just one year. Super job by all the organizers and workers.
The pilots shade tent was a super idea and each year the flying just gets better and better.
For one who hates to drive long distances the 500 km to Gimli for this event is a piece of cake.
I also would like to thank all the pro photographers for the excellent pictures they take. It is so nice to be able to sit back and look at the planes in detail over the winter and the folks sitting and enjoying it all.
My reservations are ongoing from year to year. God willing we will see you in 2009"
