Rick Barber was the event honcho for Soarfari Event 3, and did a fantastic job herding the pilots during the week.
Dirk Darling set up a Flickr page with a lot of Bishop pictures: http://www.flickr.com/photos/darling_family/sets/72157627126555410
Gen Shibayama took picture at Mt Whitney below
More pictures...On Friday (before the event officially started, the Sierra Soaring Tow plane arrived early and provided tows to a half dozen or so willing pilots. Gen Shibayama and Rick Leffingwell went to the lookout on the way to the Bristlecone Pine Forest and offered to take good flying shots of anyone who wanted to do a flyby....only Dan Gonzales (1MO) took them up on that offer. The links below are to a couple Utube videos Gen took of Dan during the flyby.
