VLAD DOESNT EXIST
I dont think Vlad is a real person.
I believe the brain trust at VAF created him to get us all to spend way too much time on this site looking at pics, looking at maps and day dreaming of travels like he has almsost WEEKLY.
Whenever I have PM'd Vlad, I get an immediate response with lots of detail. So...
No way he can hold down a real job, build and fly the stuffing out of his plane, fly all over the continent.... be allowed in and out of the US with his questionable past and still reply to pms in second.
Something is FISHY....
How can he have so many cousins and not be from Kentucky... Just saying..
How can he eat so much and still fit in the airplane....
Just doesnt add up... Hmmmmmm

I think you are onto something. The whole thing reminds of Lieutenant Kijé |

Vlad
I met Vlad when he and cousin Don stopped in at Louisa Airport (Virginia) to visit and raid my fridge! Fridge is restocked and ready for another visit Vlad. I even got to share the air with Vlad while flying a very loose two ship over central Va.

Vlad, back in the day
I think somebody caught Vlad on video in action back in his Sukhoi days...

The guy in red shirt is a veteran pilot who is thinking of getting back to flying after full medical recovery. We had a good chat.
BTW Doug can you track IP location of that single poller? Just hemisphere OK

In Texas
Vlad flew all the way from somewhere north of here (??) just to see me, and give me my first ride in an RV-9A. That was back at 300 hours. I took a picture of Vlad?s Hobbs to document to the world he had 300 hours. Silly me.
We flew over to KSLR and broke bread together.
