The island of Koh Samui provided warm waters and a beautiful backdrop. This wasn’t about competition...they were free from all the drama...This was about creativity and the shared exhilaration of flight.

They came together from all parts of the USA and spent eight days flying, growing, expanding horizons and sharing ideas while highlighting the awesome attitudes and unbelievable skills.
