Chelan XC Classic 2010: Day 1

There is one name that is synonymous with Ace Comp Pilot. One name that invokes images of pure domination. One name, that merely whispered causes lesser pilots to run away whimpering. That name…. Chris Valley.

CRV praying to the sky gods. Usually pilots pray to him...

Chris Valley is the poster child of the Ace Comp Pilot scene. He showed how he has earned this title by slaying it today on the first day of the Chelan XC Classic, 2010. CRV blasted into first place today with an epic flight. While the rest of the field cowered by their cars, Chris strode boldly into the sky. He flew for at least 10 minutes before landing in the soccer field LZ. The flight makes him the man to beat in the kingpost class.

For the next 5 days Chris will be matching his wits against those who seek to unseat him. Those mere mortals who, for a faint hope of glory, will strive to dethrone a god!


…I didn’t fly because it was windy and I was scared…
