It's been a Great year for me, started with about 6 hours in my RV. Why not start it off with lunch !





Love me some RV flying with buddies!






My first aileron roll in the RV!

[crabandy]

I can't forget my girls!!

[crabandy]

My first OSH in the RV!



And I got to pickup My avionics in person, thanks for being so patient!

Vlad, are you serious, 622 hours in one year.

By my calculations that's

4976 gallons of fuel
$27,368 in fuel
52 hours per month
12 hours per week
1 oil change per month

I have a 44 mile round trip commute to work each day. I figure you spent more time flying than I did commute to work last year. All I can say is holy smokes!

That's a lot of flying. I'm only doing 300 hrs a year as a commercial charter pilot! Burnt 5 times the fuel though.

[dweyant]

No RV time yet...

Hopefully first flight this summer.

Did 165 hours last year in my Cardinal and a couple other planes.

Bahamas, Glacier National Park, Sun N Fun, Pittsburgh, Mt. Rushmore and a couple others.

Overall a good year for flying!

Hey, Beaumont Hotel in Kansas! Wondered if that was still there, interesting eating stop in the old days.
