Hey Don,
I really enjoyed reading your post for a couple of reasons. First, it's great to see positive publicity given to our RV and experimental aviation pastime, especially to one of our own VAFers. Secondly, I was thrilled to see the Valley Morning Star's involvement. I grew up just down the road from you on Combes Mountain (it's still there, right?) and graduated a Harlingen Cardinal, so the Star was my home town newpaper.

Cool x 2

Now get that airplane flying, Don!
