Nice Album
Congratulations!
I particularly enjoyed your album of build pictures. I've only been through the first bit, but it looks like your kids have been involved from the very start.
Wonderful!

Way to go Burt! Look me up if you're ever in Cincinnati again, or maybe at OSH or Sun n Fun.
Best regards,

Thanks to all for the kind words. And Jon, the youngest and I are planning on going to Oshkosh, although I just found out I may have a training conflict as I just got a 747-400 bid. Plus, now that you're a big shot airshow pilot and not a freight dog, I'd probably never get past your security detail to see you

Yo Burt,
Congrats all the way around!
I just got done flying a looong four day trip with Burt. I picked up the trip to pad my monthly paycheck.
Little did I know that the pad on the paycheck would turn out to be a $80,000 cost, as Burt got me pumped up on building my own RV-7!
Vans Airforce ------ new member
RV-7 plans -------- in the mail
Tools--------------- my head is swimming
Anyway, congrats again Burt and thanks for getting me started on this journey.
- Mark

Congrats on a job well done Burt. Even though your are pushing big tin I'll bet you will enjoy your -7 more. Most ATP's admit to it
Nice paint also.
