Montebello 2007
For Challenger owners the runway, river, lake or field is a gateway
to an entire world of wonders non-owners can not even imagine.

Kris and Bob - two
western Challenger pilots, thumbs up, and about to wow the crowd!
Up, Up, and ...
Away up ! No trick
photos - that's a nice safe Challenger climb attitude. Rotate at 40mph
IAS, leave the runway, and be at circuit height (or more) by the other end
climbing 10 - 15 mph above stall speed!
Now did I order that sky, or
that paint in that particular shade of blue. Nope that is not a new slotted
wing - just a 1 in a million photo! And yes, this is the photo on
the cover of the March, 2007 issue of COPA!
What do people with
Challengers do in the winter?
Outrun and Outfun snow-mobilers
of course! Bruce, Kris and Robert out playing in the snow!
