Congrats Charles. This is your invitation to come join us for breakfast every Wednesday morning at Sebring KSEF. Everything starts at 0800 and goes until we have had our fill of good food and good conversation.
You are going to love that little machine!

Default Congrats!

We also bought a flying RV7a, you are going to absolutely love to fly it and tinker with it. Fun flights, loops and rolls, cross country and ifr, the RV7a can do it all. Fun to fly, easy to land.

Yours is a beauty

I am so happy for both of you. Happy trails in the sky. Come on down to stuart this winter for a visit. How about a panel pic, my favorite part of each rv. Does your lady like it too?

Thanks everyone for the great welcome. My Wife and I are looking forward to many flights with her.

Here are a few photos that I took during the trip.
My first selfi.



Panel shot.



Tennessee Mountains



Tied down in Gainesville, GA for the night.



Coolest Fuel truck I have seen. Gentleman fueling me up said there was a 60 year old gentleman that used to drive this same truck when he was 17 yrs old.



Well you know your in Florida when you start seeing big puffy white clouds.



Arrived home safe and sound at Grass Roots Airpark (06fd).



My dad (Vernon Peckham) was very excited to see the plane, I even think more then me...LOL



All in all, I had a great flight getting used to the plane and learning how she flies. Learned a lot on the flight and even made a few small mistakes that I learned from. Right now I am doing a inspection of the plane and look forward to flying her when I am done.

Yes I have to agree with you, I think my dad was more excited the I was. I felt real bad when I came in from GA., he was waiting for me at the airport. He thought I was going to approach from the North but I flew around and did a high speed pass from the south and was half way down the runway before he realized I was there. But he sure was happy I was home.
