The accomplishments of course deserve to be bragged about, but to me the beauty of that paint job on your plane has stuck with me. What a beauty!!!

Many times I?ve been watching you fly and have to do a double take to make sure I wasn?t watching one o them fire breathing unlimited mounts. You really do fly it well Jerry. NOW MOVE UP!

Curt, Ron is THE AMBASSADOR! I am the disciple. Although, my hope is that an RV on the cover of Sport Aerobatics will help motivate more RVers to join in on the fun. Who would of thunk?!; An RV on the cover of IAC?s magazine where one would normally find Pitts?s, Decathlons, Staudachers, and Extras.

A little about the picture. The photo was taken just after the US Nationals Aerobatics Championships in September at Oshkosh. The photographer was IAC?s very own Evan Peers. Sport Aviation?s photographer Connor Madison also took some amazing pictures. The photos were taken from an A36 Bonanza with the doors removed. It was a great opportunity and there was no way I was passing up on that just to get home a little earlier! It had already been a very long week. After seeing the pictures in October, my hope was that someday one of the pics might show up across the changing banner on IAC?s website. I had no idea it was going to show up in the magazine, much less the cover! I hadn?t even seen the magazine yet when a friend texted the picture to me. You can imagine my surprise!

In any case, it?s all very exciting. Thank you everyone for your support and encouragement.

Congratulations! You?ve givenall ofus who love RV-aerobatics something to aspire to- well done!
