Rob Holmes flew over the hill to visit in his very special RV-3B this morning. What a cool paint job! I?ve always admired it in pictures but it is definitely cooler in person. Unlike its appearance in most photos, the base coat is a light gray, which makes the ?industrial? looking paint job pop.
The first order of business was introducing Rob?s plane to Tsamsiyu and taking some photos?some with the proud builder/owners.
After the photos, Rob jumped into Tsam and we tried sitting in Rob?s plane. Built for different missions (Rob?s is light, strictly VFR, and barely night equipped; Ours is heavy and solidly IFR and night equipped), we all agreed that both planes have to be among the coolest rides in the RV kingdom.
Our hopes had been to do some flying and get some air-to-air photos over the Sierra but the winds were 8 gusting to 28 eek at Dayton and forecasted to build?adding rain on the Sierra. So, Rob launched towards home with promises to get together again, soon.
