Default N913BC First Flight

Yesterday was the day, light winds, a little warmer and I was ready to go. N913BC took to the sky over New Jersey. Spent a little time today putting some video together.

Thanks to a lot of people, but a special call out to John Albury (JetGuy) with whom I spent a couple of days flying just two weeks ago in Texas. His instruction is masterful and gave me a whole lot more confidence. My first landing was smooth, but not textbook like he taught me - I have a lifetime of practice ahead of me now!

Here is another genuine RV grinn.
