tennis anyone?

Chris S on the left, Lumberhax on the right. I was the line judge in the King Air.

They played for an hour. Countdown from 5, or 3, or pi, depending on the mood, then go on 0. Skids have to stay within the lateral confines of the court, first to touch down within the singles line wins the point. It was tight, they got to deuce twice. I was the line judge in the King Air. Video is coming. Life changing. Another bizarre night.

Once again, there's something for everyone at Rancho Vallecito!

Next up, adding courts to the other airports. People can fly in, watch the match, then everyone flies to the next court on the tour for the next game :)

I laughed out loud when I flew by and realized that you two were on a tennis court, not helipads...almost departed 28 right into the side of the hill while I was looking back.

EDIT: Ouch. And to add insult to injury, Keith, I see you called it out on it in your twitch stream. By the way, thanks also for featuring my tutorial "How Not to Land at Rancho Vallecito" :oops: Up next, "How Not to Land at Torrey Pines."
