2 Years to First Flight
One week shy of the 2 year anniversary of the day I started my RV-7, N505RV took to the air. Couldn't have happened without the help and support of my wonderful wife and great friends. I'll post more later.

Congratulations David,
I made a post earlier but did not see it up. So here it is again.
All You have to do now is to get the 40 hours off and fly up to OSH this year.
Will look forward to seeing you.

Almost the same as mine.
