Default The paint job: NOW my plane is done!



More pictures of N614EF here.

Now I've got to figure out how to get up to Hibbing to get it. Anyone available on Saturday morning for a ferry flight from KSGS to KHIB? We need two aircraft.

Default Nice!

Having been a long time member of VAF (mostly lurking, but consistently), I have followed your journey for years. I have to say, that through it all and with all of the financial and health struggles, and times when you wanted to quit, you didn't... and now you have one of the most beautiful and performing airplanes in the world. Congratulations!
