This coming weekend (May 3rd & 4th) the Channel Islands Condors will be hosting the 20th Annual Gathering of the Giants. The CI Condors is a remote control club that I belong too (Yes, I fly remote control planes as well). The remote control planes will need to have a wing span of 80 inches or larger. Usually these planes that will be flying or static displays are very detailed and very expensive. Most of these planes fly pretty fast about 60 to 100 mph.

To see one of these planes, please visit CI Condors website.

If you would like to come watch all is welcome. The flying will start around 9 AM until dusk.

The CI Condors field location is at CSUCI.

Any questions, let me know. I will be there all weekend taking pictures of the event.

The last weekend of March was my 37th birthday. I was invited to Las Vegas by my good buddy Paul who lives in Henderson. He wanted me to come out to take some pictures with him.

On the first day, we went to the Las Vegas Strip to get some pictures of the Bellagio water show. After the water show was over, we decided to go to the Valley of Fire just Northeast of Las Vegas about an hours drive. Along the way there is this truckers stop were they sell fireworks and just not the small ones. They have a dedicated site adjacent to the place to set off the fireworks.

When driving into the Valley of Fire at the west entrance, you will notice a some rocks that are really red in the hills. But after driving into the valley, you will see why they call it the Valley of Fire. We spent the afternoon at the Valley of Fire until sunset. I took a lot of great pictures, but not many worth posting.

On Sunday, we went to Lake Las Vegas to take a couple of pictures of the waterfalls. After that we went back to the Las Vegas Strip for a few hours before I came home. To see the pictures I took go to http://tinyurl.com/4dwu5.

Thank you Paul for a great time in Las Vegas. For Paul’s pictures go to http://tinyurl.com/3thl9h.
