Toronto and UMD Human-Helicopter Teams Near Prize

This one is too close to call!  The Toronto team has put on an amazing come-from-behind push in this quest to win the $250,000 Sikorsky Prize, but the Maryland team also seems to have some kick left as they both approach the finish line.  This is where flight test, engineering, creativity, and just plain guts all come together.  As a guy who spent 3-years of my Air Force career on exchange with the Canadians at the Aerospace Engineering Test Establishment in Alberta, I can truly root for both teams.
