Got the "Dream Flyer" home
 

Well today I finished my 5-day adventure and brought N262 DF to her (his?) home.

This would not have been possible without my RV-4 Mentor Extraordinaire/Flight Instructor/Master Mechanic/ and Flight Therapist- Dave Austin.
I cannot explain how he clearly communicated and taught me the very basics.
He is the very top of this profession.
If you ever need some to teach you how to fly the RV-(any) see him. He lives near DTO.

Picked up N262 DF after a thorough inspection of the craft & books. After a night of rest and excitement, flew from near Las Vegas (BVU). The builder and previous caretaker of 262 DF was a gracious and wonderful guy- Dan Gildner.

Route of flight was AWESOME- BVU-DRO-MMDO-DUX-DTO overnight, then DTO-GLE to train. Overnight. Then DTO- AWM-MQY. Overnight (weather). Then MQY-JFZ-RMN. Overnight (30-36 direct crosswinds at planned home field), so divert.
Final leg RMN-EZF.


2000 wonderful miles.

Congratulations!!
 

David, congrats on your epic journey.

By the way-----------------

David, great story! Congrats.

Please give my regards to Dave Austin the next time you see him. I solo'd and got my ticket in his C150 N1674Q many, many years ago. Took some instruction from Dave, also. Very nice person.

Anything you can get into is female. Anything you get on is male.

hi to Dave Austin
 

b,
Yep fine man, great instructor.
1st he un-tought my 35 yrs of basic experience before providing the basics of a "masters Degree in the art of flying".
He knows how to get to the heart of the matter without using a chainsaw.

OK, read this. http://www.vansairforce.net/articles...ums/images.htm

The thing that seems to stump a lot of folks is that the photos do not reside here on VAF----------they need to be posted to a site that hosts images, and then you insert a link to the hosting site wherever you want the image to "appear" in your posts.

After you hit the "submit reply" button on your post, "magic happens" and the image shows up like it was actually a part of your post.
