Default First Flight....!

Anyway, I got around to doing my first flight in my Rocket last week- sorry, no pics- Indescribable! Easy to fly, but the acceleration, nimbleness and quick response was beyond expectation.

I now feel like writing poetry. Maybe taking up painting. I think I should learn about fine wine. I just checked out a book on Italian architecture. It was truly a moving experience.

I don't always drink beer. But NOW, when I do, it will be Dos Equis. Stay Thirsty, my friends.

IO540, CAI, High Compression, 296 HP.

Very well said.

I've never flown a Rocket solo but I've rode in one. Yahoo!

PS: I made your quote after my first F-16 sortie, my HR2 wasn't half bad either...
Bottom line, we are blessed
