Hi, my name is Monte Cooper, and I'm your pilot for today. This is Nutz One, going around in circles over St. Pete.

Re: Pictorial: St. Pete from above - aboard Nutz One
Our aircraft is a Hughes 500 helicopter, powered by a an Allison C20B turbine. The racers have threatened many times to blow our doors off, that's why we've removed them as a precaution. There is one seat in the First Class section, and two in economy. There are no lifevests under your seat or elsewhere, we ran out of them.

We will be flying at an altitude of maybe 10 feet above the water, where you will see the white in the clenched teeth of your fellow racers.

And now sit back, tense up, and enjoy the ride.
As as reminder, Lance Aviation recommends the useage of wide angle lenses during all phases of the flight.

This moment will live in infamy: With Blue Nutz way at the horizon, and Orange Nutz in hot pursuit, Team IMCO goes by Black Nutz on the inside.
