Two Time World Champions Team Cutting Edge Reunion

This weekend, Jerry and Marcia Cannon came out to Ocean Shores so that Team Cutting Edge could have a reunion before we move to Utah. The weather was great and a good time was had by all. It didn't take long for the guys to get back into form. They spent Sat. working on their precision and Sunday they did the ballet. It only took a couple of times through before they were back into form and could have competed and won.
The town has put this sign at the entrance so before we went to dinner Sat. night, the guys (Rick, Jim Barber, and Jerry) put on the shirts we "The Trophy Wives" (Eileen, Monica Barber and Marcia) had bought for them to wear when they won the first World Championship, and we took their pictures by it.



Here the kites are in a refuel position. The kites are actually inside each others lines and move as one. They even do a landing like this. To our knowledge, no other team has done this. It is really something to see and not easy to execute.
We will really miss these "our best friends" when we move so am glad they had told us they will come visit us and of course, we will be back to visit them.

Wow it looks like a really nice day! I wish I could have been there, it's been so long since I've been out flying with them.
