Default Looking For North Carolina RV Pilots

I was given some advice from an RV pilot on another forum to try posting my question here. I have always loved RVs but have never had the pleasure of seeing one first hand or sitting in one to see how it fits. I would love to have a tour of an RV if anyone is willing to spend a little time showing me theirs. I'm not looking for a flight, I just want to check it out and talk a little about the plane. I fly out of TTA and wouldn't mind driving or taking a little flight to meet you. I could return the favor with a tour of an AH-64D Apache if anyone is interested.

There are a number of flying RV's at KTTA. I can show you my -6A almost any time. There is a -7 under construction across from me, and two others RV's are on each side. Several other -8's also.

We would love to host you at 14A, we have 3 RVs in the hanger (1 7a, 1 6a, 1 6) plus a few more on the field. Tell you what, bring the apache down and we can swap rides

You RV pilots sure are a great group of guys. I didn't expect so many responses. I certainly hope to visit all of you someday and check out your fine airplanes. It sounds like there are a lot of RVs at 14a. I would love to fly in someday. Unfortunately our training area only goes as far west as Stanley Co. so I wouldn't be able to take an Apache out there. I would definitely give a tour to anyone who could meet me at Fort Bragg though.
