For a guy who keeps trying to get rid of his plane...
... I see that The Original Bob Collins is just about to break through 3000 posts. At least 1000 of those posts were trying to get someone to buy his plane.
Good to see Bob finally flying!

Is Bob already flying? Did I miss the memo?

The current plan, as I heard from the man himself at lunch today, is that N614EF will break ground tomorrow and head to an airport not quite so close to MSP class B for the start of phase 1 testing. Bob can fill everyone in on the details when he gets here - since he practically lives on VAF (judging by the post count, that is)

This one is special somehow
OK so I've become kind of passive on this kind of news over the years but I cannot deny this event is special even to me. Good luck Bob!

Has it happened yet?
The suspense is keeping me from doing other things - what's the status?

Yes, it was epic! There are pictures and videos forthcoming, I'm sure, but I'll let Bob post them.
