hat sighting

[scard]

Tanya and I took the week off of work and were transported across the country to Yakima, Washington for a week of experimental aircraft construction. We're two days in and I'm just having a ball working all of the big-boy toys along side some real experts...



We were all still friends after I suggested and demonstrated another way to fish-mouth a particular tube setup. It is weird "touching" someone else's machinery.


"Move over, I can work a hydroform press!"

Do I hear a new project in the works?

Yes, but they can't say because its not an RV just the hat. But very cool anyway.

Well I know who I visit when I go to Yakima, and they build fun airplanes! I can see the -8 project headed off the edge of the waterfall chart......

There was another hat sighting today! And guess what, it was VAF advertiser day! It "pays" to advertise. We had a ball of fun again today, and Stein even got an "official" call this morning shortly after we arrived for "work".


Tanya literally hijacked the shear press from Rick. "Bang" (1/8" steel hitting the floor). Tanya's head popped up from the task at hand and off she went in search of mischief. "Can I work it!?" "Of course. I need 12 just like this." Yeah, right, like poor Rick had any chance.


I saunter up just in time to take a picture. Guess who Didn't get to work the shear press that makes the whole shop floor rumble...

There was another hat sighting this morning in the great North West. And many thanks to fellow RV driver / builder and DAR from Oregon, Gary Brown. He is a class act if you are working on an airworthiness cert in the North West.
