George, with steely eyes behind the shades, turning crosswind following departure from Sebring, FL (KSEF). This in his beautiful RV-9A. Unfortunately, we're not able to make the Wednesday breakfast get togethers there. (Sorry Turbo) However we did enjoy breakfast with Sam James of Holy Cowl fame. Talk about learning a lot in 30 minutes.....

Ed,

Looking at the canopy latch handle, it's easy to believe 3800 hours on your RV. That thing has been used!!!!!

Ok guys, sorry it's not in an RV, I'm still shopping to become one of the family.

But it sure was a fun after-work trip with my daughter for a little ID backcountry fly^2 fishing fun :)

Hey Gang,

Thought I would add a cockpit shot. Its not a RV yet, but soon I will have the RV grin to add as a self portrait. I have plenty of other cockpit shots in old warbirds but don't want to show off. :D

Taken in my RV-9A, burning fuel - flying for the sake of flying with no particular mission in mind.

We took or 2 year old daughter for her first $100 breakfast in the RV6 this morning. Just south of Lake Kissimmee we found River Ranch, a Westgate Property. On the weekends they have a buffet that is really nice but get their before 2:00 or you will be eating pizza at the country store. Fly in to their private runway, rent a golf cart for $5 and explore the property. When we finished with breakfast we took Delaney to the petting zoo. She loves the goats and talked about them all day long. They also offer pony rides and full size horse trail rides for the those that want to walk funny for a couple of days. If you are into shotgun sports they have a trap and skeet range on property. Designator for the airport is 2RR. Fun day trip for the whole family!
