CJ, I figured it out. Probably the exact same way you do it!

Here's me. Not the most picturesque photo, but there's not much to see up that high!

Who needs an RV-10?

Who says that the RV-6 is not a family machine?

A River Runs Beneath It.

Since I'm from the St. Louis Mo. area, I thought the Mississippi River as a background was appropriate.

Dan's video self(?) portrait

Dan, I stopped taking photos of my wife while she's sleeping almost 25 years ago! ;) I'm guessing Jen doesn't know you posted this to the world! But as usual, my hat's off to you for setting the standard of excellence! Neato video!

Here's my wife Jaime and I in a rented Spam Can Cessna. I'm looking forward to the day that I can replace this picture with one of us in the -7A. Fuse is coming along and will likely get flipped upright this weekend if I can get my riveting partners out to help.

Hey...looks like John and I must rent from the same FBO.

My wife Tami and I on our first flight together after I got my PPL.

Now she is hooked on flying too. She would rather fly than drive any day of the week.

kevinh self portrait

Kinda generic self portrait. Actually not really a self portrait - the naked woman in the passenger seat was kind enough to take this picture for me.

RV-7A about 50 hrs TT

Ken Richards In His RV7 Over Mount Katahdin, Maine

Hi folks. I am new to the forum and to RV building, but the attached pics are of someone who is a "pro" at both building and flying his 7. This is an in flight shot of Ken Richards over Mount Katahdin in Maine. Mt. Katahdin is the highest peak in Maine (and I believe on the east coast) at 5,260 feet. You west coast people can laugh now.

This is the RV grin in its purest form.

Ken and I flew up to Rockland, Maine where a very nice RV6 was sitting on the ramp beside the jets, then on to Baxter State Park where we loitered around Katahdin snapping pics. On our way home we heard RV8er Nick Knobil checking in as he entered the pattern at his home base in Wiscasset.

A good day was had by all.

The "Last 3-G Test Point for Today!" Grin...

Hey, I like fancy flying as well as the next guy, but this was at the end of a test card that took two flights in one day to complete!

The grin says "Now I get to chase the sunset back to the field.... :D

Not nearly as cool as flying an F-18, but this is me and my wife in a rented Citabria.

Got my RV-8 emp boxes today! Woohoo!
