All mic comments aside, congrats! Looks like all are having the times of their lives! Keep it up.

My daughter is an aviation trooper since she was a baby. The evening was beautiful, 80 degrees and calm winds, smooth as glass, perfect!

The order is in for a new headset!

That Peltor looks familiar, but I think it was brand new when I wore it during the demo ride you gave me in the Pitts S2-B in KFFT many years ago! That was an experience that I have never forgotten, and will always be grateful for. Congrats on the new ride!

Hey Brian, yes you are correct! I guess I got some good mileage out of those Peltors, that was back around 1993-94, right? I remember I made a chin strap for them out of a strap of Velcro I sewed some wool onto, to hold it on during negative G! I love my Clarity Aloft, but at the time the Peltors were the most comfortable over ear sets available. Good times, I am very glad you enjoyed it as much!

And thank you, I am really enjoying my new craft, she isn't a Pitts or Extra, but very close, and a lot more practical for some x- country flying for sure. I am hoping we will fly her to Oregon this summer to visit my first grandchild, it should be a great trip!

Eric, I promise to post some acro videos as soon as I get the oil temp down some! I have done a bunch of spins, loops and rolls, but haven't tried the Sportsman yet, I want to do it at full power and my oil goes to 240 when I try that!
