Default RV-8 in Rock Hill, SC Area

Anyone in the Rock Hill area with an RV-8 that my dad could see? I am building one in Houston, but at 93 years of age, it's doubtful he'll ever be able to see it. He doesn't travel any more.

I am visiting him this week and we have Thursday afternoon and Friday morning (27 & 28 April) available.

If someone can help, please call or text 281-682-7005.

Thanks,
Ken Cockrell

I have a -4, not an -8, and will be out of town during this time period but hopefully one of the LKR guys will hit you up. There are 3 or 4 over here now.

I was just at LKR - well last September - to visit Bob Shaw.

Default Thanks!

I'd like to publicly thank Tom Tousignant for giving my dad and I a tour of his very nice -8. We enjoyed the visit to Kirk Air Base and meeting Tom.

Ken,

Was that visit to Bob Shaw, the ex fighter pilot Bob "Mouse" Shaw?

Yeah it was. Stayed with him and his wife Sue for a couple days. We've been friends for over 20 years. And it was in September not July - I started watching for good weather weeks in July but one didn't happen to coincide with other free time until Sept.
