Default RV-8 Builder Paul Dye Gets a 'Day Job' Article In Plane & Pilot...an intimate look

What a beautifully written piece, Paul. You are truly a national treasure. I felt honored to have a chance to speak with you at Oshkosh last year. The members of Vansairforce are fortunate to have your knowledge and experience available on a daily basis. Thank you very much!

GREAT article Paul. I could feel your pride to be part of such a grand
adventure. One question.... did you ever pitch the sim 30 deg up and roll
it?

Don't feel bad Marc - you at least KEEP publishing me....

And Tom....well, I can tell you that in the simulator, I seem to remember that "someone" was able to do two rolls down final and still make the runway.....
