Good for you! Now you can spend the pre-Xmas days avoiding the crowds by flying high over them and really enjoying the season. Happy holidays.

Default Beautiful!
Awesome pictures of the best Christmas present a family could ask for! Wreath and all!

I never tire of reading/seeing first flights of any airplane but especially RV's.

Best,

Wayne,
I have been watching for your first flight post since I met you at Valkaria a couple of weeks ago. Congratulations to you and your family.

Thank you guys for all of the support and kind words. I have met a few of you and hope to meet more in the future. We have alot in common and always look forward to fun flying and conversations. As a low time pilot I appreciate everyone sharing their knowledge and experiences. We will try to stop and meet as many of you as possible as we travel this great country. Sorry...No aux tanks so probably won't be going to Australia.

Back up at pmh this morning with less tension. Presently Temp 5C, Alt 30.44 and a beautiful day for flying.
