Virtual Editorial Board Winning Cover Shot with a winning vote of 44.2%. Gabriel “Gabby” Altuz, of Puerto Rico, stunned the crowd with flights that combined pinpoint precision and low-level extreme 3-D. Spectators at the 2010 Extreme Flight Championships (XFC) and this year his 42% Performance Aircraft Unlimited Extra 300 commanded much respect on the flightline. Gabby finished third in this tight competition, which draws many of the world’s top airplane and helicopter pilots to Muncie, Indiana each year. Make plans to attend the 2012 XFC in June and see all the action, meet the pilots, and share in the excitement. Mark Fadely photo.
