Hey Darren,

Looking good! Seems like you are having fun. We should get together one day for a flight if the weather permits! Hard to tell.

Ah Kirkby field, thought so when I saw the shot in the hanger, hmm that looks a lot like Carl's hanger. Can't be too many like that in the area.
Find your way up to Stettler, enjoy the best crosswinds in Central Alberta and I'll lend you the Vespa for a run into town.

Good story Darren, made me chuckle!

With that hat, I thought I was looking at another Russian! Very entertainingly--I think that's a word--written Darren.
Thanks for sharing.

I'm glad you all are enjoying the write up. It was quite a day.

Cam, I may take you up on that offer one day

Perry, thanks for the compliment. I think she looks good too and I'm at CFX8, not CYBW.

Nedim, before Mike S. officially welcomes you aboard the good ship VAF. I'll do the honours! Welcome my friend, and yes we need to get together and go fly

Hello Darren,

Yeah, I've started following the forum for a few weeks so far with the hope of starting to build an RV-12.

Let me know when you decide to go to flying, I can be at Kirkby's on a short notice.

Default Great narrative....

Darren,
Thanks for sharing the story. We in Canada have to go to great lengths to find an airport with a restaurant within walking distance......only the largest have such luxury! For sure its a $100 hamburgler?.:-)
Come on over to YXE someday......and we can go looking for grass fields and eateries!

Marc

If any of you local guys make it to ED3, let me know. There are a couple of restaurants in town, but even better, we can throw something on the Big Green Egg.
by local I mean local by RV standards, within 300 miles or so.
