I guess its different when it isnt your money.

We met up with FPC at the time/place that was designated. Got about 20-30 minutes of airtime on our boats. Was even on the big screen later that night. No complaints. Can't wait to see the pics and video.

they told everybody where the helo would be.... if you weren't there, i guess you won't get pics/video....

Wil the pics be uploaded on their site and if so when? I don't see a link for the Emerald coast run as others like the Lake Lanier run.

Pictures will be up in about a week and the proofs will follow in 2 weeks. Video will be out end of Sep. or first of Oct.

There was a drivers meeting were stu gave direction on were all the photos would be taken. I thought he did a great Job I went 2 3 different stops and got filmed each time very cool to see there boats in clear blue water.

You all are just happy because you got what you paid for. It would be different if you didnt. I went to the meeting. Did the poker run. Never saw helicopter. And i know alot of people at my hotel never saw helicopter either. Iam not the only person unhappy about this. Anyway glad you all got your pics. Iam just trying to let people know that there is no refund. So next year you will know. I know i will not fall for this again. Did he say in the meeting if you dont ever find the helicopter you will not get a refund? NO. Thats a rip off anyway you put it. When your from out of state you really dont know where all those locations are off hand so you can run right over there. You all probally know the area. We missed him every location we went to. The times were not working out with the run we had. Spent most of the day looking for the stupid helicopter. And iam not the only one.

Outlaw 11, If you had gone to the right places at the designated times, you would have had all the picts you wanted. The helicopter went to all the spots where it was supposed to be at the right times. Maybe you did not pay attention in the meeting?? The helicopter even stayed up a few extra hours to look for the boats that were missed. That was very nice of Jackie to phone those who missed it to give them a second chance the next day.
Lube Jobs, It seems your boat broke early on, you were running in the same group as I was. So thats why you were missed. You will be credited for KW.
For the rest of you, the picts at footage look great!!!

I have to say, I was pretty disappointed when He was not at the first stop, then I got rained out at the forth. But Sunday I got caught up with Stu and hopefully got some good shots. I have no complaint with the way anything was run this past weekend. Had a great time.

We missed our slot due to the rain, and by the time we saw the helo flying again, we were trapped at "The Island" behind a bunch of boats and missed the final fly by. Stu tried some boat-to-boat video on the trip back up the IC. We will have to wait and see if it is any good. Being this was our first Emerald Coast PR, it would have been nice to have a map from Stu. We were a bit confused about the video locations on Stu's instruction sheet as compared to the map in the stops brochure.

While leaving the the hotel, the very nice woman at the FP desk said she thought it would not be a problem to credit the fee to the next event they are at. Seems very fair.
