| The static display area does double duty as the pit area from which the flights were staged. This let the onlookers see the entire flight process close up. The Designer, Builder, and Pilot of the 'Quantum', Robin Sizemore--a Cholla Chopper who drove up from Tucson to support the CACLC project--prepares for a demonstration stunt flight. (Thanks, Larry) |
