So they only charged $20 for the helicopter ride this year?? Did they not charge us $25 in 2006? Sorry I mmissed the ride with ya.. Those are great shots. However, it doesn't look like there was as many vettes this year as there were in 2006. Do you think?

Also, Sorry I missed your "Corvettes on the River" show. I had another show locally that I was scheduled to go to... By the way, you have anymore pics of the red c6 (KC-Vette ride?). I really like the way he does his display with the wheels off.

Thanks,
Tim

Interesting contrasts -- all those Vettes and a Budweiser wagon with only six horsepower! Thanks for sharing with those of us who can't attend!
