Last Day Pics

Thank you to all the TSA volunteers for helping put the contest on.

Many comments were overheard of pilots talking about this being the best contest they've flown. From the facilities, weather (eight days with a planned rest day - could have flown all nine!), the line crew and tow pilots setting a daily launch record of 40 minutes and Texas hospitality.

Have a safe trip home and we'll see ya soon
