Mike,
looks good. But I am pretty sure a Tenn Vols orange plane would win in a 1V1 fight. Specially one with the little wheel on the back. Congrats.

Go VOLS!!!!

Yeah, baby blue and orange...that's so last decade. Go Knights!

Besides, Gville is literally the middle of nowhere. Basically the armpit of florida (ducking for cover).

The tower at my airport had the same comment about the lights. I did one night flight before I flew from Olympia to Texas and ended up with a night landing in Winslow AZ, they work fantastic.

I get comments everywhere I go about how it looks like a jet coming in to land. I keep just the Taxi Ring of lights on when every I fly.

Cheers

Talking Go Knights

How many Knight Alumni are flying Rv's? I'm the third thats posted.
Like the Gator plane though as my Boy just got accepted there. 22 minute flight in the Rocket from home airport in Orlando to Gainesville so he shouldn't get too homesick.

Paint looks GREAT! Oh, and it's time to change the note about the paint, in your signature
