All had a great time as helicopter pilot, Darren Telliho (aka The Grill Master), was grilling up burgers and dogs to order. Of course a helicopter event wouldn't be complete without a FREE DISCOVERY FLIGHT drawing. Congrats to Samuel Capel on winning the Discovery Flight! 

U77 OH 014sm.JPG

To finish off the evening we had to include a helicopter challenge that required both skill and concentration. All who attended stepped up to the plate to play Rotor Landing for prizes. Clearly, some were a little too tired to play :)

There was a definite wind factor that some did not factor into their helicopter landing calculations...

In the end, Chadly Erekson--a current Utah Helicopter student pilot--showed us how it is done and took the grand prize!
