For me, it is all of them. I love everything about SEFF.

People without a doubt.

I can fly at my field any day, I can shop online with the vendors any day...

But getting to see old friends like this only comes once a year. I may see some at other events, but to have everyone together at SEFF just makes it magic on a scale like no other.

It truly is the "Fellowship Electric"

Used to be my favorite part of SEFF was seeing through all your eyes what was going on, and enjoying the fun you were having when you would post up.

I will have to get back to this poll once I get a SEFF under my belt. I am sure it will be all of the above.

For me it's the people I get to meet and the non-stop flying. I don't get to fly much because of my job and when the weekend rolls around, I am busy catching up on rest and the honey-do lists. When I get to SEFF, I get to drink all I want, fly all I want, sleep very little, and just plain relax. All on my schedule. It don't get much better than that.

Oh it was a blast!!! We couldn't keep enough batteries charged that night. We were like little crack addicts running around looking for that next hit (charged lipos!)

nah, you cut your turns shorter!

This isn't pylon racing, just group lap flying! Some of the faster ones were slowing down to keep the pack together also.
