Default anyone with an RV-9 want some company flying?

My home airport is KABE (allentown, PA). Is there anyone in the region that would like some company flying an RV9? I'm happy to share costs.

I'm not looking for instruction, just a chance to see how they fly. I've never been in an RV yet.

If you fly in one it will eventually cost you $70,000 to $80,000 because then you'll want to build one or buy one already flying.

Be careful bikesandcars. I bet that Russian is on a spy mission and that makes you an accomplice.

What a great response, thanks! I'm used to other forums where a question like this would sit for 2 weeks.

If more then one person knows about the mission it's not a secret anymore Jim I suspect somebody here on VAF has an idea but he is too busy at work and doesn't read the forums

Hopefully someone clue's me in... at minimum so I don't have to explain to my SigO: "I'm going flying with a guy I don't know on a secret mission"

After reading all of Vlad's stories, it is unknown what the mission may hold. They are all different, but VERY entertaining. However, knowing him, you may end up on a beach in California or somewhere else fun!

Talking You'll definitely have an adventure with Vlad ...

I'm down at KPTW and would be happy to take you out in my 9 if you survive Vlad's mission!
