Over my house
Awesome Chad!
Congrats on the 40! I wondered if you had Brittne with you last night. I got a couple of pics, they are much better than the first attempt  Looking through the view finder I couldn't tell if you were alone or not. I was actually in the shop working on my airplane when you flew over the first time.
I will say though, I think my success rate would be better if you flew over at say maybe 80 to 90 knots instead of 160 knots. Not that 160 knots is not super cool to watch, I just think it would aid in my absolutely beginner photography skills producing a better picture.

V-E-R-Y cool. VERY.
Way to go, Chad!! I'll be watching overhead for you and Brit on some of these nice sunny Spring days. (I'm assuming we'll see some sunny days soon.  ). Seeing you fly Brittany in the Seven is added incentive for my wrap-up work on my Nine-A !!

Dude!!!!
9 MONTHS????
Immediately submit your "Man card," your "VAF Man card," and your "RV BBQ Man card." Must be a new record for the 40 hour!!! Embarrassing
Congrats!!!!! Glad to see you got it done and you got your wife up. Now the fun begins and you can enjoy the RV for how it was meant to be used.
Excellent job. Look forward to seeing you at Oshkosh!!!

Wow, that just made me smile, watching your video. All that work and to share it with the woman you love is such a moment of triumph.
As much as it is my plane its really something my partner and I are experiencing. And to think that at one stage she will ride next to me with that look of happiness that your wife has makes me totally inspired.
Outstanding work.

Also, I too am a average looking man with a "way too good looking" other half. When ever a friend says to me how did you end up with her I pull him aside and say "Shut-up, if she realises how cute she is she will be outa here in minutes"
